"The" national motto?

I know is is an oft' used motto but when was it considered "the" national motto?

Seriously, is this an official thing written as law somewhere?

Cookie, I want to make a correction here.

The Knights of Columbus had under god added to the pledge in the fifties.

I think our national motto is e pluribus unum.

Regards

According to this source, "e plurbis" WAS the national motto but was replaced by "In Spaghetti Monster We Trust" back in the fifties.

I didn't know that.
