Flag of the president of the United States

Common card · No. 402398

The flag of the president of the United States consists of the presidential seal on a dark blue background. While having the same design as the presidential seal since 1945, the flag has a separate history, and the designs on the flag and seal have at different times influenced each other. The flag is often displayed near the president in official photos, or flown next to the casket of a former president in official funeral processions, and flown on the president's motorcade. The flag is not flown at half-staff since there is always an incumbent president in office. Unlike some head of state standards, the presidential flag does not fly on the White House flag pole instead of the national flag when the president is in residence; the flag of the United States continuously flies over the White House whether the president is at home or not.
