Previous to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were regulations federal or state governing display the U.S. flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference attended by representatives of the Army and Navy, which had developed their own procedures, and about 66 national groups. This order to provide guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to the display and the associated issues of the U.S. flag was adopted by all organizations present.
A few minor changes were made a year later during the Flag Day 1924 Conference. It was not until June 22, 1942 Congress passed a joint resolution amended on December 22, 1942 to become Public Law 829, Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd Session. The exact rules for the use and display flag (36 USC 173-178) as well as associated sections (36 USC 171) Conduct during playing National Anthem, (36 USC 172) the Pledge of Allegiance, and delivery method were included.
The code is the guide for all handling and display of the Stars and Stripes. It does not impose penalties for misuse of the flag United States. That is left to the states and the federal government for the District of Columbia. Each state has its own flag law.
Criminal penalties for certain acts desecration of the flag were contained in Title 18 of the United States before 1989. The Supreme Court decision Texas v. Johnson, June 21, 1989, held the law unconstitutional. This statute was amended when the Flag Protection Act of 1989 (October 28, 1989) imposed a fine and / or until one year in prison to knowingly maul, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor or trampling any flag of the United States. Flag Protection Act 1989 was shot down by the ruling of the Supreme Court, United States v. Eichman, decided on June 11, 1990.
While the Code empowers the President of the United Together to alter, amend, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority for making "official" issue legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code, may continue done. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America. "Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code can be considered acceptable, as long as due respect shown.
