On Sunday, Biden ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in honor of the late former president. It's an honor that indicates that the country or a state is in mourning.
According to Biden's proclamation, U.S. flags will be lowered for 30 days from Carter's death, until Jan. 28. With the inauguration on Jan. 20, that means that flags will be at half-staff when Trump takes office.
The U.S. flag code lays out parameters for lowering the U.S. flag to half-staff, including a 30-day period for current or former presidents.
