Proclamation on Flag Day and National Flag Week, 2026 (Corrected Version)

To officially designate June 14, 2026 as Flag Day and the week beginning June 7, 2026 as National Flag Week, encouraging Americans to display the flag and participate in patriotic observances.

Constitutional concerns with the original

  1. No constitutional concerns; the proclamation is a ceremonial exercise of the President's inherent executive power under Article II, Section 3 to recommend measures and to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. It does not create legal obligations or abridge any rights.

Solution text

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Whereas the flag of the United States has been a symbol of liberty, justice, and national unity since its adoption on June 14, 1777; and Whereas the Congress, by joint resolution approved August 3, 1949 (36 U.S.C. 110), designated June 14 as Flag Day and requested the President to issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance; and Whereas the Congress, by joint resolution approved June 9, 1966 (36 U.S.C. 112), designated the week beginning June 7 as National Flag Week and requested the President to issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance; Now, Therefore, I, [President's Name], President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States, and in accordance with the requests of Congress, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2026, as Flag Day and the week beginning June 7, 2026, as National Flag Week. I call upon the people of the United States to display the flag and to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. This proclamation shall expire on June 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Any legal challenge to this proclamation must be filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia within 30 days of its issuance.

Bipartisan rationale

Both parties support honoring the flag and national symbols. This corrected proclamation clarifies the constitutional authority (Article II, Section 3) and includes a sunset clause and judicial review path, ensuring it remains a proper executive act without encroaching on legislative prerogatives. Institutional integrity is preserved by explicitly grounding the proclamation in the President's constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, rather than relying on implied powers.
