FLAGS: Code spells out proper policies

| January 26, 2011 9:00 PM

As much as I don't care for many of President Obama's policies and decisions you can't blame him for the display of the U.S. and China flags. Title 4 of the United States Code, 7 (g) states:

"When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."

A quick Internet search will fully disclose the entire Flag Code.
