Summary
| Description |
English: After Saturday’s death of U.S. Sen. John McCain, the White House flag was lowered to half-staff, and returned to full height Monday — provoking consternation and confusion. Later Monday afternoon, it partly descended the pole again.
Throughout each tug of the rope, White House officials say they were strictly following protocol, although some other U.S. government agencies continued to fly the flag at half-staff throughout Monday. Without a presidential proclamation, according to the U.S. Flag Code, the Stars and Stripes are to be at half-staff only “on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.” https://www.voanews.com/a/white-house-flags-back-at-full-staff-after-mccains-death-/4546015.html |
