See Which Congressmen Voted Against 'In God We Trust'


By Todd Starnes

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”


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.”
