Can tr💩mp decree by Executive Order to waive the normal requirements, and get either or both buried at Arlington?
.
Weirder things have happened.

FYI:

Arlington National Cemetery now has fewer than 75,000 available grave sites. The ongoing Southern Expansion will add about 80,000 more by 2028, extending capacity into the 2060s

He was selected. Never say never when you're dealing with dictators. They follow their own set of rules.

Kissinger was a war criminal, but was never charged or convicted of a war crime. So he's eligible to be buried at any National cemetery, including Arlington.

And was not stationed on the frontlines. He had to be congressionally approved to become Secretary of State.

Kirk isn't eligible. But with this admin, Trump could write an EO overriding.
