Those are just executive orders, the flag code itself (which is a law) is a little vague.
Because getting congress to change a law after a new state is added gets a little annoying.
how often are you adding new states?
alaska and hawaii were added in 1959. From 1787 to 1959, a new state was added to the union every 3.44 years. So it used to happen pretty often, actually.
why must you bring facts and logic to this discussion?
Does staggered mean it has to be evenly staggered?
How is this is not dickbutt or at least a penis confuses me
I pledge of allegiance to the flag, of the united cum of America 🫡
I call bullshit.
I like this better.
