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.
For a member of Congress, the flag is supposed to fly at half-staff on the day that he passes and the day after. The president has extended that until McCain's burial.
