The Preamble to the United States Constitution:
“ We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.”
The United Nations security council has five permanent members. The U.S. is the only country, out of those five developed Nations, without an official language.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Security Administration ( TSA ) requires all of their employees to be able to read, speak and write in English.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) require all pilots, control tower operators and flight dispatchers to be proficient in English. All airline mechanics are also required to be proficient in English in order to receive FAA certification.
As President, my first Executive Order will be to designate English as the Official language of the United States of America.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilate himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American . . . There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag . . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
President Theodore Roosevelt
