These are the steps that are typically taken in the United States to send a senator to the US Senate: 1. A person is nominated to become a US senator by a major political party, such as the Republican or Democrat parties; 2. In the general election in November, the candidate with the most votes in a US State wins the election and becomes a senator; 3. Each US State is allocated two senators, regardless of the State's population; and 4. The term of a US senator is 6 years. Thus elections for open senate seats normally occur every six years. There are other ways in which a State sends a senator to the US Senate to represent that State: 1. If an incumbent serving in the senate dies or resigns in the middle of that person's term, the Governor of the State, now having a vacancy, appoints a person to serve out the previous senator's term.

Barack Obama did not serve as a US Representative (a member of the House of Representatives). He was first elected as a state senator in Illinois in 1996, and after three terms, he was elected as a member of the US Senate; he served as a senator until he decided to run for president. That said, as president, Barack Obama certainly does represent the United States. But prior to becoming the president, he was a member of the Senate, not the House of Representatives.
Robert Kennedy served as US Senator for New York from 1965 until 1968. He had also served in his brother's Administration as Attorney General.
