The
following is not meant to be political, but to remind
what the Motto of the United States is. Contrary to
what one of our candidates for president said during
her recent acceptance speech, E Pluribus Unum was
officially replaced as the motto of the US during
1956, by the US Congress passing an act making “In God
We Trust” the official motto.
Incidentally, President Obama also made
the same faux pas during a speech he
made a few years ago.

In God We Trust
Although many people thought E pluribus unum was the motto, there was no official US national motto before 1956.
“In God We Trust” had been on coins since the 1800s, but it was not officially the motto of the United States of America until the congressional act designating it so in 1956. Coincidentally, it is also the official motto of Nicaragua.
