John Mc Cain died on Sunday
President Obama ordered flags at the White House be flown at half-staff for almost five days after Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy of MA died in 2009. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania went off the rails as they examined Trump's action and inaction in the first 48 hours after McCain's death.
Following the senator's death, Trump posted a tweet that offered his "deepest sympathies and respect" to McCain's family but made no mention of McCain's storied service in the military and in the Senate.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who served with McCain for 31 years, said Monday he was in favor of "naming nearly any building" for McCain, but added, "I'm not sure that I would make a decision on a specific building at this point". "I think this would be a particularly good one, but I want to make sure the family is OK with it", Flake said.
The renaming proposal would not need approval from the House or from President Donald Trump, a longtime McCain nemesis. John McCain until he is laid to rest and ordered flags to fly at half-staff and delegating senior officials to the funeral.

The controversial Senator McCain, a Vietnam War veteran and former prisoner of war, would be provided a military escort as he embarks on his final journey from Arizona to Washington and will be granted full military honors during a subsequent service at the United States Naval Academy.
