“On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump,” Johnson announced Tuesday. Advertisement“The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter,” he added. “The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration. The Capitol would not be the only locale where flags would be at full height on Jan. 20. However, raising the flag before the end of the 30-day half-staff period for Carter may violate the U.S. flag code, the section of federal law laying out customs and procedures for flying the stars and stripes.
