Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, succeeding State Senator Alice Palmer as Senator from Illinois's 13th District. Obama was sworn in as a US senator (for the state of Illinois) on January 3, 2005.
Yes he was. He first ran for office in 1996 and won a seat in the Illinois state senate. He served for three terms, and then in 2004, he decided to run for the US Senate. He was successful, and became a US senator after winning the 2004 election.

Yes. He first served three terms in the Illinois State Senate before being elected in 2004 to serve in the US senate.
No we can't because you can only be president twice and he was already president twice so we can't. So sorry.
