Question:
Can the mayor order the flag to be half-staffed?
Answer:
No, only the President of the United States or the Governor of your State may order the flag to be half-staffed.
Those individuals and agencies that usurp authority and display the flag at half-staff on inappropriate occasions are quickly eroding the honor and reverence accorded this solemn act.
