This is a complete list of members of the United States Senate during the 2nd United States Congress listed by seniority, from March 4, 1791 to March 3, 1793.
The order of service is based on the commencement of the senator's first term, with senators entering service the same day ranked alphabetically. The Senate subsequently assigned a consecutive official number to each Senator, which is the second number given in the table.[1]
