English is the native language of only 82% of Americans. There are many
places that are, in fact, bilingual. French is common in both Louisiana
and Maine. New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, were all, at one time, part
of Mexico, as a result Spanish is common. And, let's not forget about
Hawaii. Many of it's population speak Hawaiian.

Nope, this country has never had an "official language", and with good
reason.

You should tell that to the people who wrote the consitution. I wonder why
they didn't use french, spanish, mandarin etc.
