The office of Senate President Pro Tem was authorized in 1822 (Senate Rule 26). At that time, Senate Rules provided that "The President of the Senate may call any member of the Senate to take the chair to relieve him when fatigued in the discharge of his duties." (Senate Journal, December 9, 1822)
Prior to 1868, Presidents Pro Tem were elected only if the President
of the Senate was unable to attend session. At the beginning of each
session, a Justice of the Peace from Anne Arundel County swore
in each Senator. The Senators then immediately elected a President.
In 1868, the Senate began the practice of electing a President Pro Tem
at the start of session, a practice continued to this day.
