The president of the Minnesota Senate is the presiding officer of the Minnesota Senate. Until 1973, the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota served as the Senate president. Since then, presidents have been elected by the body, usually at the nomination of the majority. While power within the Senate lies primarily with the Minnesota Senate Majority Leader, the president of the Senate does succeed to Lieutenant Governor in the event that office becomes vacant, something which happened most recently in 2018.
