After having its flags at full-staff for half of Monday, the Arizona's official flags will go back to half mast for the remainder of the 30-day mourning period for President Jimmy Carter.
Gov. Katie Hobbs put flags at full height after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing flags be flown at full staff on all future inauguration days.
Trump’s order said flags could go back down if needed after that.
Trump's order at least partly overrides the 1954 proclamation by Eisenhower.
That spells out the flag "should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possession after the death of the president or a former president.''
That same directive also has shorter time frames for other federal officials.
Trump's new order does not disturb those times — unless there is an inauguration.
Presidential orders — whether Eisenhower, Biden or Trump — do not affect what individuals and businesses can do on their own property. Even before Monday's order, Trump himself flew the U.S. flags at Mar-a-Lago club at full staff.
