Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles introduced H.R. 8150, the 'Good Friday Act of 2026,' on March 27 to amend the federal flag code and require flags at half-staff on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, defined as the first Friday and Saturday after the spring equinox full moon. He argued it reflects Christian observance of Holy Week and honors 'Christ, King of America,' gaining support from Rep. Riley Moore but facing backlash for promoting Christian nationalism and violating church-state separation. Current law limits half-staff to national tragedies and secular remembrances, with no religious holidays included, and legal experts question its fit under the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.
