U.S. President Donald J. Trump today signed an Executive Order that he claims imposes a one-year prison sentence for burning the American flag—an action directly protected under the First Amendment, as affirmed in Texas v. Johnson. Despite Trump’s assertion, the order itself makes no mention of prison time. Instead, it directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review cases of flag burning to determine whether individuals can be charged with other offenses, such as disturbing the peace or violating environmental laws, effectively attempting to bypass First Amendment protections.
