Al Gore, Dan Quayle and Lyndon Johnson all gave up their Senate seats in early January, just before the new Congresses were sworn in. Walter Mondale and Hubert Humphrey gave up theirs in late December. But not Biden.

This is what I found on a very quick, cursory search.

ThanQ for that. I read that story as an aside and I couldn’t find much of it anywhere else.
Her seat does not expire until 2022. I couldn’t find an explanation of why someone thought it was necessary she takes the oath.
I stopped looking.

It’s because that makes her a two-term Senator.

Resume and pension enhancement.
