Last sitting Senator elected was John Kennedy, 1960. Before that, Warren Harding in 1922, I think.

Though not first elected President in his own right, Harry Truman was a Senator.

Yes, but not a sitting Senator; that was my point. :)

Well, if you mean people who have EVER been Senator, you'd have to throw Nixon and Johnson in there too. Nixon was a Senator between 1950-52 before being chosen as VP, and Johnson was one between 48-60 before being chosen as VP.


And let's not forget Al Gore, who got far too close. :shutters:
