Trivia geek question!

Who's the longest-serving member of the House currently? I couldn't find this out--matter of fact, I couldn't find out who the longest-serving member EVER is either.

5. Byrd is senate.
This is the one random trivia question that Wikipedia could not answer. Maybe it's because the districts change around so much...

But in terms of the Senate, Obama is the youngest, right?
