US Upper House Minority Leader Suggests Renaming Senate Building After McCain

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 26th August, 2018) US Senate democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday that he would introduce a resolution to rename one of the US Senate office buildings after the late Sen. John McCain.

McCain died on Saturday at the age of 81 of brain cancer.

"Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him," Schummer tweeted.

Russell building is the oldest one in the US Senate. It is named after former democratic lawmaker Richard Russell.
