Adams, the 6th President of the United States, was elected to the House of Representatives in the year 1831, and served eight terms as a Representative, until his death in 1848.
Andrew Johnson, the 17th president, was eventually elected to the Senate in 1875. His term, however, lasted less than 5 months, as he died of a stroke that same year.
16 presidents of the United States had served in Congress before being elected to the highest office. Barack Obama was the third sitting senator to be elected.

There was no President of the United States in 1781. The first President of the United States was George Washington who served 1789-1797. The Presidents of the Continental Congress in 1781 were Samuel Huntingdon (1779 September 28 - 1781 July 10), Thomas McKean (July 10 - November 5), and John Hanson(1981 November 5 - 1782 November 4).
The Vice President is President of the Senate and has the power to break a tie on votes in the Senate. The Vice President is also the successor to the Presidency if the President cannot continue serving in office. Vice Presidents have become more involved and more powerful in recent years. They serve as close advisers to the president and often bolster the presidents credentials because of their previous experience in government.
