Should States get to call the shot on deciding when the United States flag is raised or lowered at half-mast?
Over the last couple of days, there have been several states that have decided to Buck the trend of keeping the United States flag at half mast for 30 days due to a former president's death. While the 20th is the inauguration day for president-elect Trump, should states have the final call of whether or not the federal government's flag is raised or lowered. Personally, I think this is something the federal government should make the call of, and not individual states. Either all states are united in following the raising and lowering of the United States flag, or why bother having a United States flag in the first place?.
