Before Obama, the last member of congress to be president was JFK.
You kind of forgot Lyndon Johnson (senator and majority leader), Richard Nixon (congressman and Senator), and Gerald Ford (congressman).
Unless you meant going directly from the Hill to the White House, in which case Johnson and Nixon did stop at the vice presidency on the way.
