Lawmakers school Obama on nat'l motto (OneNewsNow.com): "A letter signed by 42 members of Congress criticizes President Barack Obama for telling students in Indonesia last month that America's national motto is 'E Pluribus Unum.'



Obama commented to the students last month that the U.S. and Indonesia share a similar history. 'It is a story written into our national mottos. In the United States, our motto is 'E Pluribus Unum' -- out of many, one.'

In a letter to the White House, members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus -- mostly Republican -- note that the national motto has been 'In God We Trust' since 1956."
