Not sure how long a Senator is supposed to be.
There was no love lost between the president and Senator McCain, but I too thought the flag at the White House should have flown longer in his memory than one day.

Copied from The US Department of Veterans Affairs concerning US Flag Etiquette :
" The flag is to be flown at half-staff at all federal buildings, grounds and naval vessels in the Washington, D.C., area on the day and day after the death of a United States senator, representative, territorial delegate, or the resident commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It should also be flown at half-staff on all federal facilities in the state, congressional district, territory, or commonwealth ."
