Apparently, since 1959, the arrangement must entail “nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.”
https://www.si.edu/spotlight/flag-day/flag-facts#:~:text=Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated August 21%2C 1959%2C provided,rows of stars staggered vertically.
Does staggered mean it has to be evenly staggered?
why must you bring facts and logic to this discussion?
Those are just executive orders, the flag code itself (which is a law) is a little vague.
Because getting congress to change a law after a new state is added gets a little annoying.
how often are you adding new states?
alaska and hawaii were added in 1959. From 1787 to 1959, a new state was added to the union every 3.44 years. So it used to happen pretty often, actually.
I call bullshit.
How is this is not dickbutt or at least a penis confuses me
I like this better.
