If only USA’s declining life expectancies also affected US senators & Congress.

With the major major caveat that senator life expectancy and normal person life expectency differ a _lot_.
Depending on dataset, you may literally be counting a population up to about 20% slaves and comparing them with the population of those who go on to become senators.
Top decile income life expectancy (or parental income at birth) might be easier to come by.
