Actually not even the "flag of the president." Nothing about it in the US Flag Code. Only mention is in US Army regulations manual (gold at garrisons and when on parade). There is more compelling evidence in the connection with maritime law, but even that is a stretch. The question is whether the people using gols fringed flags are doing it intentionally because of some type of military justification, or they just don't know about the actual law/regulation.
