When the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 the US Senate didn't exist since it was created in the constitution. So, the answer to your question is no one.

What day was the Declaration of Independence signed by representatives from the thirteen colonies?

it was approved by the house on , July 4, 1776 and signed on August 2, 1776 The Lee Resolution claiming independence was adopted (congress does not ratify its own resolutions) on 7/2 in closed session of the Continental Congress (2d). (There was no House and Senate.) The Declaration, explaining the rationale, was adopted by the congress on 7/4. It was published with that date and first read publicly in Philly with the ringing of the Liberty Bell on 7/8. As the Declaration was what was generally published, the folks at that time used the date they saw. The document had to be ratified by the "colonies" and formal signing began on 8/2. I do not know the procedure for ratification. The Continental Congress turned into the Confederation Congress or the Congress of the Confederation with the Articles of Confederation. They wrote the US Constitution and so we got what we now have as just "Congress," a House and a Senate. See Related Links for a Timeline.

yes anyone who signed the declaration of independence is in congressImprovement by Michael Cooke -Yes, he was in the Continental Congress.Well, really he was in the Second Continental Congress. That's where we get the Declaration of Independence, he was also a part of the Federal Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia which drafted the U.S. Constitution. But if you meant was he ever in "modern branches" i.e. House of Representatives or Senate, the answer is no.No. In 1776, while serving as the Speaker of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, he was chosen by the Pennsylvania Assembly as their delegate to the 2nd Continental Congress. In June of the same year was voted to the Committee of Five to draft the Declaration of Independence.
