The respect he has received is reserved mainly for presidents, vice presidents and members of Congress.

John Lewis, a civil rights activist, was the last to gain similar status after he passed away last July.

The first to be honored is Henry Clay, a Kentucky lawmaker who also served as chairman of the House of Representatives, whose coffin was placed in the Capitol in 1852.



Baider Ginsburg's coffin was placed in the Capitol in the background of President Donald Trump, who said earlier this week Ginsburg is in the upper house as early as tomorrow, weeks before the election. The vote in the Senate is expected to take place at the end of October.
