President Trump plans to sign an executive order establishing English as the official language of the United States, a move that would formalize its status federally, as many states have already done. While naturalized citizens must demonstrate English proficiency, American communication encompasses over 350 languages. Despite this, a significant majority of Americans speak only English at home. Advocates like Vice President JD Vance assert that English's status reflects its cultural importance, urging Congress to enact this legislation as a recognition of American identity and unity.
"The English language has been a cornerstone of American culture for over 250 years. It is far past time for Congress to codify its place into law, which is exactly what this bill does."
"This commonsense legislation recognizes an inherent truth: English is the language of this country. That is why the overwhelming majority of the American people support this proposal."
