I think Obama was the only one to resign a senate seat to be president. Harding was in the senate during the campaign of 1920, but his term expired the same day as he took office as president. Truman has to resign a senate seat to become vice-president.
The following were U.S. Senators at the time of their election to the U.S. Presidency:
- Warren G. Harding (1920)
- John F. Kennedy (1960)
- Barack Obama (2008)
