Requires printing 'In God We Trust' on U.S. government buildings and materials.
The problem
Some believe the national motto should be more visible on federal property to reflect American heritage and values.
The proposal
The bill mandates displaying 'In God We Trust' on federal buildings, documents, and government materials where space allows.
The impact
Federal agencies must add motto displays. Affects building design, printing costs, and religious expression policy nationwide.
The phrase is already the official U.S. motto since 1956. Displaying it on federal buildings reinforces this established symbol of national identity.
Supporters see this as honoring America's historical and cultural traditions. It acknowledges the religious beliefs held by many Americans throughout history.
Adding text to existing buildings and new documents requires minimal extra expense compared to overall government budgets.
Many states and cities already display the motto. Federal adoption creates consistency across government properties.
Critics argue the motto promotes religion on government property, which some see as violating separation of church and state. Non-religious Americans may feel excluded.
Retrofitting thousands of federal buildings, reprinting documents, and managing displays could cost millions across agencies. These funds might be used elsewhere.
Legal challenges may arise over whether mandatory religious displays on government property violate the First Amendment. Court battles could be costly and lengthy.
Government employees of different faiths or no faith may feel uncomfortable working under religious displays daily. This could affect workplace inclusion efforts.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
