    The only thing the flag code says about the design of the flag itself is below. Everything else is about how the flag should be treated, used, and displayed:

    "§1. Flag; stripes and stars on

    The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be fifty stars representing the fifty states, white in a blue field

    §2. Same; additional stars

    On the admission of a new State into the Union one star shall be added to the union of the flag; and such addition shall take effect on the fourth day of July then next succeeding such admission"
