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.
