As long we're picking nits it would make him a representative. The senate is also a house of congress.

hey, if you think that the difference bettween a Senator and a Congressman is a matter of nitpicking, enjoy your day.

I said that a Senator is a congressman, unless she's a congresswoman, and that my pointing it out was picking nits.
