A Tennessee congressman, Rep. Andy Ogles, has proposed legislation that would require American flags to be lowered at half-staff on Good Friday in observance of the Christian holiday. The proposal, titled the "Good Friday Act of 2026," seeks to amend federal flag code to require such an observance each year. If passed, this would add Good Friday to a list of occasions outlined in U.S. law when flags are lowered. Critics may raise concerns about the separation of church and state, but it is unclear whether this will be supported in Congress.
