Honoring the Late Senator Lindsey Graham

Next up: A house committee

This bill is in the early stages of the legislative process and must be reviewed by a house committee before it can move forward. It has not moved since May 2024, and most bills like this do not receive a committee vote. There is no companion bill for this legislation.

Key Points

Trump ordered all United States flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the life and career of Senator Lindsey Graham. This is a traditional mark of respect for a long-serving member of the government.
The order applies to the White House and all public buildings, military bases, and naval ships across the country and its territories. It also includes all American embassies and military facilities located in other countries.
Flags will remain at half-staff until 6:00 p.m. on July 18, 2026. This period of mourning allows the nation to recognize Graham's years of service in the United States Senate.
