   John McCain reportedly requested Obama, George W. Bush give eulogies at his   
   funeral   
      
      
   Former Presidents Obama and George W. Bush have been asked to give eulogies at   
   Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) funeral, The New York Times reported Saturday   
   night.   
      
   Two Republicans familiar with the funeral arrangements told the Times that,   
   under initial plans, Vice President Pence has also been asked to attend,   
   though President Trump has not.   
      
   Similar plans were reported earlier this year.   
      
   McCain, who died on Saturday at age 81, will lie in state in the Capitol   
   Rotunda in Washington, D.C., and receive a full dress funeral service at the   
   Washington National Cathedral.   
      
   McCain, a "maverick" of the Republican Party and longtime giant of the Senate,   
   garnered the respect of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle throughout his   
   decades-long career.   
      
   Despite his absence from the Senate this year, McCain still managed to leave   
   his mark on Washington, criticizing Trump on numerous occasions for his   
   policies and his attacks on the media.
