As we all now know Senator John McCain has recently passed away. Although, many are grieving over his death others are trying to find a way to tribute his name in memory. Close senator friends of McCain, Senator Schumer and Senator Flake are both trying to rename the Russel Senate Office building in honor of McCain. Senator Flake wanted to be the first Republican sponsor to change the name of the building. This shows how much people really cared for the hero, Senator McCain.

Richard Russell; senate building named after him


When recalling the information about Richard Russell, who the building is named after as of now, we see may flaws, he was a leader of opposition towards blacks which is not something most Americans would want to represent our senate. He had also opposed many bills that had to do with the banning of lynching.        

 Unlike Richard Russel, McCain tried to do his best, even defending his own opponent while running to be elected. Many would rather say they want John McCain to represent the senate instead of a leader who was for segregation and opposed civil rights.

Questions:
  1.  Is it right for the name of the building to be renamed in the first place?
  2. Is John McCain the right person to rename the building after?
  3. If McCain is not, who else may fit the role? 
  4. When and under who's jurisdiction can accomplish this task?
