Bill > S2736

This bill, known as the "In God We Trust Act," requires the Administrator of General Services to display or inscribe the national motto "In God We Trust" on all federal public buildings within one year of the bill's enactment. The bill defines "public building" according to existing U.S. Code (Title 40, Section 3301(a)), which typically refers to buildings owned or leased by the federal government and used for the general purpose of housing federal agencies or providing services to the public. The requirement is to place the motto in a "place of prominence" on each building, which suggests it should be clearly visible and recognizable. The bill aims to ensure that the official national motto, which was adopted by Congress in 1956 during the Cold War as a statement against communist atheism, is displayed across federal infrastructure as a symbolic representation of national identity and values.
