Several Republican Governors have pledged to fly their flags at full-staff, despite President Biden’s former directive.

Eight states have ordered flags raised for Inauguration Day, even though it is customary to keep them lowered for 30 days after a president's death

After a former president dies, federal flag code dictates that flags should be flown at half-staff for 30 days out of respect. When Carter died Dec. 29 at age 100, President Joe Biden issued a proclamation to lower flags to half-staff for the standard period.
