- Apparently, the flag is within the federal codes (bringing into question the local codes).
What federal codes regulate the size of flags and flagpoles? Why would federal codes call local codes into question? -Will Beback 22:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- The reference article mentions this topic. Surely, there are federal regulations on such items. Often when a local law makes something illegal that had been determined to be legal at a higher jurisdiction, the local law is called into question as controverting a higher authority.

- I looked at the source and didn't see any mention of federal codes (the source is no longer available at the provided link)). I can't imagine why the federal goverment would have laws about flagpoles. There are flag laws, but they say nothing about the size of a flag or of the height of flagpoles. In general, zoning and construction ordinances are the exclusive domain of state and local governments. If there's more detail about this I'd welcome it, but it should be based on solid sources. -Will Beback 22:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
