Default Flags permitted or not?

No other flags are mentioned in the statute. Is the "TRUMP' Flag therefore a prohibited sign. I have also seen baseball , football college , state , foreign national and other flags flying below the permitted US flag. Do we have violations of covenants? Where does it stop?



This should be an interesting exchange of ideas. Got my Kevlar ready


You'll need more than Kevlar. Many fly the Gadsden flag below the Stars & Stripes. I approve heartily since it was carried by the 1st Continental Marines during the American Revolutionary War.

For those who may not know, the Gadsden flag was created by Col Gadsden of South Carolina. It was presented to the First Commodore of the USNavy as his battle flag. His Marines carried it onto his flagship and fought under it during the early part of the ARW.

Correction: Franklin wanted our national symbol to be the rattlesnake with 13 rattles in its tail, as opposed to the bald eagle.

Many would recognize the flag today as the Tea Party flag.
