In God We Trust

by Natasha Leiding

In 1956, "In God We Trust" was officially made the U.S. national motto by Congress. Before that, "Under God" was added to out pledge in 1954. In 2002 an atheist by the name of Michael A. Newdow was successful in having this phrase declared unconstitutional. However, an act by Congress limited the power of Judiciary, therefore, preventing the removal of this phrase. Does having "In God We Trust" as our national motto, or "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, violate the constitution? Should these statements be eliminated from our currency and Pledge? How do you think this debatable issue should be handled?
