John McCain

Meghan McCain and former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush were among the speakers at Saturday's service at the Washington National Cathedral, the culmination of a week of public mourning.

After criticism, President Trump directed federal flags to fly at half-staff to honor Sen. John McCain until he is buried. The move came after the White House flag was initially at full-staff Monday.

Colleagues abandoned their partisanship to offer sympathies for the late Arizona Republican senator and celebrate his legacy. John McCain died on Saturday at age 81.

The two-time presidential candidate served for 30 years in the U.S. Senate and was a Washington institution known as a political maverick. He had an aggressive form of brain cancer.

After a week of high drama, another played out in the early hours of Friday with Sen. John McCain joining two moderate Republicans, two independents and every Democrat in voting against the bill.

Regular order is not only a process but also a state of mind. It implies not only procedures but also a presumption of at least some degree of bipartisanship.
