Can somebody name a great - or even good - president who was elected there from the Senate?

Can someone name any president that was ever a senator before becoming president?

In the past century, Kennedy. Also, Truman went from senator to VP for a very short time to president; Johnson followed a similar path, and Ford went from the House to VP to president.
