What Else Has The Longest-Serving Congressman Outlasted?
Rep. John Dingell will make history on Friday, when he surpasses the late Sen. Robert Byrd's record to become the longest-serving member of Congress.
The Michigan Democrat was first elected to the House of Representatives in December 1955, during the first Eisenhower administration. As of Friday, he's served 57 years, five months and 26 days.
