    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

      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
