United States national motto; reaffirm support
This resolution (HR 1157) formally reaffirms "IN GOD WE TRUST" as the United States' official national motto. It has no concrete policy impact or new requirements - it solely expresses the House of Representatives' support for maintaining the existing motto, which has been officially recognized since 1956. The bill does not affect any specific group or change current law; it is a ceremonial statement to commemorate national history. The resolution passed through initial House reading stages in early 2026 but remains procedural with no implementation mechanisms.
