To amend title 4, United States Code, to permit the flag of the United States to be flown at half-staff in the event of the death of the Mayor of the District of Columbia.

Bill 117 HR 4368, also known as the "Flag of the United States at Half-Staff for the Mayor of DC Act," seeks to amend title 4 of the United States Code to allow for the American flag to be flown at half-staff in the event of the death of the Mayor of the District of Columbia. Currently, the flag can only be flown at half-staff for certain federal officials, state governors, and other specified individuals.

This bill aims to recognize the importance of the Mayor of DC and honor their service to the nation's capital by allowing the flag to be lowered in their memory. By extending this honor to the Mayor of DC, the bill seeks to show respect for their leadership and contributions to the city.

If passed, this legislation would provide a symbolic gesture of mourning and respect for the Mayor of DC in the event of their passing. It would align the treatment of the Mayor of DC with other prominent officials and leaders whose deaths warrant the lowering of the American flag. Overall, Bill 117 HR 4368 aims to acknowledge the significance of the Mayor of DC and ensure that they are honored in a manner befitting their position as a key leader in the nation's capital.
