HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Congress has approved a $3.2 billion veterans bill that includes a provision ordering the removal of the remains of a convicted double murderer from the Arlington National Cemetery. The vote was good news for Vernon Davis, whose parents, Daniel and Wilda Davis, were fatally stabbed by Russell Wayne Wagner at their Hagerstown home on Valentine's Day 1994. Mr. Davis fought for 16 months to have Wagner's remains removed from the military cemetery.

Are ex presidents eligible to buried there (besides JFK)?

Along with selling classified military technology to the Chicoms and presidential pardons to mafioso, Bill Clinton also sold burial plots at Arlington:

No, except under one condition, which conversely, is the reason we don't want any more presidents buried there. One of the conditions to be buried at Arlington is to die while serving in the military. JFK was Commander in Chief at the time.

I take that back. It says on the website they are, but I recollect the tour guide old me different when I was there a year ago.

For some reason, I can't access the Times' web page right now.

I wonder if this is the first time someone is being disinterred from Arlington.

In January, President Bush signed into law a ban on burial at national cemeteries for veterans convicted of capital crimes, eliminating the loophole that allowed Wagner's remains to be placed at Arlington.
