The House of Representatives passed a bi-partisan resolution Tuesday night
reaffirming “In God We Trust” as the official motto of the United States.
The 396-9 vote came at the request of Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) – in part
over President Obama’s refusal to correct remarks he made that misstated
the motto as “E pluribus unum” instead of “In God We Trust.”
Lawmakers voting against “In God We Trust” include Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-
NY), Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich), Rep. Judy Chu (D
-CA), Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Rep. Hank Johnson
(D-GA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA). Voting present
were Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Rep. Melvin Watt (D-NC).
The bi-partisan resolution not only affirms “In God We Trust” as the
national motto, but it also “encourages its display in public buildings and
government institutions.”
“There’s been no motto in U.S. history that’s been more inspirational
than ‘In God We Trust,’” he said, noting that he felt it was appropriate
for members of Congress to “firmly declare our trust in God.”
