Was it simply a faux pas? Was it ignorance? Or was it intentional? These were the questions running through my mind as I listened to Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

After mentioning that she and other Democrats were meeting in Philadelphia, the nation’s birthplace, Clinton briefly talked about the struggle that our nation’s 13 colonies had in coalescing around the shaping of our Republic.

“The revolution hung in the balance,” she said, but they found “common purpose.”

“Our Founders embraced the enduring truth that we are stronger together,” she declared.

She then added, “America is once again at a moment of reckoning. Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. We have to decide whether we will work together so we all can rise together. Our country’s motto is ‘E Pluribus Unum: out of many we are one.’ Will we stay true to that motto?”

Anyone with a fair and objective mind would have to admit she gave a good speech. It was largely about Americans uniting in common cause to overcome their many challenges. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the speech suffered a fatal flaw — one that undermined its entire premise. The fact is, “E Pluribus Unum” is not our National Motto. It never received congressional recognition as such. Instead our National Motto is “In God We Trust.”
