No. The United States Congress did not exist when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed.
Most members of congress signed the official, engrossed copy on August 2, 1776.
He signed the Declaration of Independence and represented new york in the continental congress
There is no specific date that has been recorded of when the Declaration of Independence started to get signed by congress members. However, there is some evidence pointing towards early to middle June. But this could be false, because such a document hand-written back then would not be able to be signed by all of the Congress in around a month.

The Second Continental congress
The Declaration of Independence was not really published, but it was signed. If you take it that way, the Continental Congress published it.
No one. The United States was not a country yet. However, John Hancock was President of the Continental Congress when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
July 4, 1776
That would be the 2nd Continental Congress!!
Signing the Declaration of Independence was a show of agreement that congress was declaring independence from the English crown. If it hadn't been signed it wouldn't have meant anything.
It was signed by members of the US Senate using a quill and ink.
