The Continuation of the US Senate

The US Senate is a continuity body, where the House is re-organized ever second year.

Here is a list of senators who served during the same period:
.................................Longest serving
State..........Year...........Senator........................Junior Senator
DE..............1789.........Bassett..........................Brown
KY...............1792.........Brown............................Gaillard
SC...............1804.........Gaillard.........................King
AL................1819........King...............................Pearce
MD..............1843.........Pearce...........................Anthony
RI................1859.........Anthony.........................Hale
ME..............1881.........Hale...............................Smith
SC...............1909........Smith..............................Eastland
MS...............1943........Eastland.........................Leahy
VT................1975........Leahy.............................Warnock (current most Jr Senator)


When I came up with this list - I actually did it in reverse - so Leahy, who is currently the most
Senior senator was the most Jr Senator in 1975- when Sen Eastland was the most Senior Senatior and so forth.
Thus Sen Leahy is the 10th generation Senior Senator.
In 1789, Sen Bassett was considered the most Senior Senator as Delaware was consider the
First State as Delware was the first to approve the Current Constitution.

Sen Leahy is Senator # 1692
Sen Warnock is Senator # 1994
