If you think that's scary, Senator Byrd has been a Senator longer than NINE (yes, nine) of his fellow Senators have been alive.

Robert C. Byrd (D-WV)
Assumed current office: January 3, 1959

Bob Casey, Jr. (D-PA)
Born April 13, 1960

Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
Born May 25, 1960

Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
Born September 30, 1960

John Thune (R-SD)
Born January 7, 1961

David Vitter (R-LA)
Born May 3, 1961

Mark Begich (D-AK)
Born March 31, 1962

Mark Pryor (D-AR)
Born January 10, 1963

Michael Bennet (D-CO)
Born November 28, 1964

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
Born December 9, 1966

Byrd had already been elected to his second six-year term in the Senate and unsuccessfully filibustered the 1964 civil rights act by the time Kirsten Gillibrand came out of her mother's womb. That's gotta be awkward “serving” along side the guy.

Yeah, Byrd was already in Congress (the House) when my mother was born, and my dad was and infant.

He's just slightly younger than Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez.
