We will never apologize for being one nation that places its trust in Almighty God.\u201d\n\nIf enacted, the legislation would require the GSA to display or inscribe the national motto of the United States in a prominent location within all federal buildings within one year.\n\n\u201cIn God We Trust\u201d was first minted on U.S. coins in 1864, during the Civil War. In 1956, it was designated as the national motto after the bill was passed unanimously by Congress and signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.\n\nClick here to read the full bill text.\n\nClick here to read more about the legislation on the Christian Post.\n\nCosponsors: Diana Harshbarger (TN-01), Chuck Flieschmann (TN-03), Burgess Owens (UT-04), Mike Kelly (PA-16), John Rose (TN-06), Pat Harrigan (NC-10), Barry Moore (AL-01), Rick Allen (GA-12), Sheri Biggs (SC-03), Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), and Ben Cline (VA-06).", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:21:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://marymiller.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mary-miller-introduces-god-we-trust-act-commemoration-america-250"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4503197744488716, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
