(1,831 posts)1. If the House is not in session will they approve?
No law, written rule, or regulation specifies who may lie in state; use of the U.S. Capitol Rotunda is controlled by concurrent action of the House and Senate. Any person who has rendered distinguished service to the nation may lie in state if the family so wishes and Congress approves. In the case of unknown soldiers, the president or the appropriate branch of the armed forces initiates the action. Since 1865, most services in the Rotunda have used the catafalque constructed for the coffin of Abraham Lincoln.

He's far too petty for that.

for obvious reasons.

I remember now how The Dick had to change his neo-con stance on gay marriage when word got out.
