And I quote (thanks Google for finding Wikipedia):
The United States Flag Codeestablishes advisory rules for display and care of the national flag of the United States of America. It is part of Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code. Although this is a U.S. federal law, the code is not mandatory…
So it’s a recommendation. Not a law in the commonly accepted meaning of the word.
You’re right: It isn’t hard to look something up before shooting off your mouth
Although in fairness, it wasn’t written into law until 1998. Seems pretty pointless since using the flag in any way is protected free speech. Maybe being unenforceable is meant to protect it from 1st Amendment challenge?
It was never enforced, because if it was, MANY people would have been prosecuted a longtime ago.
It isn’t enforced because it isn’t law. There’s nothing to enforce
It is indeed a law, just no enforceable punishment. It isn’t hard to google search before you make dumb statements.
Title 4 chapter 1 of the US code

Cheers! Yeah, that would be my assumption.
