Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the flying of any flag other than the United States flag over United States diplomatic and consular posts, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Old Glory Only Act," requires the Secretary of State to ensure that only the United States flag can be flown over U.S. diplomatic and consular posts worldwide. The legislation aims to mandate that no other national, organizational, or symbolic flags can be displayed on top of buildings housing U.S. diplomatic missions, such as embassies and consulates. By specifying that exclusively the American flag can be displayed, the bill seeks to reinforce a singular representation of U.S. sovereignty and national identity at its official international diplomatic locations. The bill is straightforward in its language and purpose, leaving little room for interpretation about the requirement to fly only the U.S. flag at diplomatic facilities.
