Is the oldest senate the president of the senate?
No, the President Pro Tempore is generally the Senator in the majority with the most seniority. In some cases this is the oldest senator, but more likely it's the longest serving senator (although I do believe Senator Byrd is the oldest currently serving senator).Under the US Constitution, the Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate. In modern times, the Vice President does not actually preside over the Senate, except on the most rare of occasions or when his vote may be needed to break a tie.In the absence of the Vice President, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate (or his/her designee) presides. By tradition, the most senior senator of the majority party is the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Presently, that is is Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Sen. Byrd is also the oldest and longest serving senator.

The Vice President presides over the Senate, but he cannot vote on issues unless there is a tie. He also cannot address the Senate unless given permission by another Senator. Basically the Vice President is a hands-off babysitter for the Senate.
