Placing "Under God" in the pledge of alliegance.

They passed a *law* to do that?

Of course they did. How do you think it go there?

The pledge was written in 1892, but adopted officially by act of congress in 1942.
The first Supreme Court challenge to it came in 1943 . Another congressional act,
signed by President Eisenhower, in 1954 added "under God."
