The late Rev. Billy Graham’s body will lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda for two days next week, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-KY) announced Thursday. The rare honor was most recently bestowed upon the late Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) in 2012. Graham will be the first religious leader to receive the honor. The evangelist died this week at age 99.
