Following the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, President Biden has taken steps to honor his legacy and memory. On January 9, President Biden signed an executive order to close all executive departments and agencies of the federal government, designating it as a National Day of Mourning for the late president.
The closures, as described by Biden, are a gesture of respect towards Carter and will be in effect on the day of his funeral. Additionally, President Biden has ordered all American flags to be flown at half-staff for a period of 30 days in remembrance of the former president.
