If you are within the USA, the USA flag should be the highest flag. If you are not in the USA, the local national flag should be the highest.
Of course it can. All you have to do is attach it to a taller flag pole.Another View: (in the US) No. The rules of flag etiquette of the United states deem that when displayed along with other flags on a single pole, the US flag should be displayed at the highest position on the pole, and when in a grouping of multiple flagpoles, the US flag should be displayed higher than any other flag. These flag rules apply only in the US and its territories, of course, other nations may have differing rules.
I would put the staffs in an 'X' then put the flag over them
The US flag should always be displayed with the blue field in the upper left-hand corner to the viewer.
From Wikipedia, "The United States Flag Code," "Ordinarily, it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset, although the Flag Code permits nighttime display "when a patriotic effect is desired." Similarly, the flag should be displayed only when the weather is fair, except when an all-weather flag is displayed. (By Presidential proclamation and law, the flag is displayed contiunously at certain locations like the United States Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington and Lexington Green." "The flag should be illuminated if displayed at night." Reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/united-states-flag-code, "Displaying the flag outdoors," paragraphs 7 and 8.
All national flags should be at the same height, and the same size.
According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.
I think the rules only apply when you have the US as well. For example, if you have US & state, US has to be higher & so forth and there are times when it should not be excluded depending on others displayed.
In the United States there is NO official location of the US Flag. The flag is displayed in governmental buildings, offices, private homes, schools, and businesses, in public places and on private property, in churches, temples, synagogues and other places of worship. The US flag is often displayed on cars and trucks, bicycles and motorcycles, toys and clothing.
If the flag is in a group of flags (on separate poles) it should be in the center and higher up than the rest of the flags. If it's on it's own pole it should be above the rest of the flags and at least the same size as any other flags on it's pole, if not larger.
The US Flag Code specifically states "the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness."
