Umm....since when does the US have a national language?

The last time someone tried to make English ... err... sorry... American the official language, the bill didn't pass.

(Of course, I might have missed some new bill that managed to squeeze through lately, so do please correct me if I'm wrong! )

Last I heard, some group was trying to make the US officially bilingual, with English and ... you guessed it! ... Spanish.
