Senate session begins with a message from the President announcing the death of former President George H.W. Bush
By unanimous consent, the Senate has approved resolutions allowing use of the Rotunda & the Lincoln Catafalque for the Lying in State honors for Bush 41
Majority Leader McConnell's voice cracked slightly at times as he paid tribute to George H.W. Bush. "George Bush stayed the course."
The House has now approved both Senate resolutions to use the Rotunda & the Lincoln Catafalque for the Lying in State ceremonies
The hearse is now going from Joint Base Andrews to the US Capitol. The casket will enter the Rotunda at 5 pm. The media and military waiting outside now
