President Donald Trump signed nearly 100 executive orders upon entering office — including one that would ensure the nation's flags fly high to mark his inauguration, despite them being lowered to honor the late former President Jimmy Carter.
"Accordingly, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at full-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government, in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions, for the remainder of this day beginning immediately," the order said.
Trump had to be sworn into office to pass the executive order, so the order was not in place until after he was officially declared president.

The flags were lowered to mourn Carter, who died late last year at age 100.
Raw Story reported Monday morning that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ordered the U.S. Capitol flags to be raised. Due to the cold weather, however, staff struggled to unstick them.
According to CSPAN cameras, the flag at the White House was not raised until 2:26 p.m. EST.
