When a president dies, the flag should be flown at half-staff for 30 days as a sign of mourning. This period begins on the day of the president's death and continues until sunset on the 30th day. However, if the death occurs while the flag is already at half-staff for another reason, it may remain at half-staff for the duration of the original mourning period.
A flag is flown at half-staff for 30 days for the death of a sitting or former President, 10 days for the death of a sitting Vice-President.

Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole. Pause for just a second, then slowly lower the flag until it is in the center of the pole (literally half staff). Lowering the flag from half staff is the exact opposite. Raise the flag to full staff, pause for a second, then slowly lower the flag all the way.
The way you do it is when you attach the flag to the halyard, raise it all the way up and hesitate for a second before you bring it down to half-staff. If it is already up, simply bring it down to half-staff. You never attach the flag to the halyard and simply raise it to half-staff. It always goes to the top first.
