Another proposal was to amend the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution to include the mention of “Almighty God” and “the Lord Jesus Christ.”
This proposal was supported by:
Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts,
Senator B. Gratz Brown of Missouri, and
Senator John Sherman of Ohio, along with Director of the U.S. Mint, James Pollock.
Their proposal was to amend the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution to have the new wording:
“We, the people of the United States, humbly acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all authority and power in civil government, the Lord Jesus Christ as the Ruler among the nations, His revealed will as the supreme law of the land,
in order to constitute a Christian government, and in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the inalienable rights and the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to ourselves and our posterity, and all the people,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
