Question for Library Directors
I'm overthinking this, but I'm genuinely curious what other directors thoughts are: What are you going to do with your flags on Monday?
- US Flag Code says that they stay at half staff
- Bidden (current president) ordered flags to half staff
- Mike Johnson (current speaker) ordered them raised on Monday
It is my understanding that the Speaker of the House does not have the authority to override the sitting President, but speculation is that Trump may order flags raised after he takes the oath of office.
Yes, I know flag code is not enforceable. I'm in a very purple region, so no matter what we do on Monday, I think someone is going to be mad at us.
My thought is that we will follow the executive order rather than legislative branch direction until a different order comes from the executive office.
