The flag is to fly at half-staff for thirty days following the death of a President.

30 days, per the National Flag Foundation. If he had been a vice president, it would be 10 days.

30 days after he dies, according to the US flag code. Same for any president. And all other flags flying next to it must be half masted as well, as no flag is permitted to fly higher then the US flag.
