The flag should be flown at half-mast by proclimation of the President. It is usually kept at half-mast for 30 days during the mourning period of a former president.

For 30 days. The current President doesn't determine it, it is already in the code:
"The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives; from the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession; and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress."

It is usually between 14-30 days. The President makes all the final decisions regarding how and when to fly the flag.

30 days - but I think the sitting President makes the determination.
