The United States has never had a nationwide vote for a national language. The Constitution does not provide for nationwide referendums.

There have been many attempts to make English the official national language but these tries have always failed. About half of the states in the US have made English the official state language (including California); many states (including Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio) have no official state language; and several states are officially multilingual or de facto multilingual (Hawaii, New Mexico, Louisiana, Maine).

When should English be the official language of the US?
Soon, and it seems like it may be soon as well. The majority of states (31 out of 50) have English as an official language! There are many new candidates as well, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Once the number reaches around 40, congress has to seriously think of the influence of the states and decide wether they want to go through the process of voting English as official or not. If it is made official, it may be forced to learn English, or it may not. It depends on the terms they decide. Also, Puerto Rico is a candidate for statehood, but they already have English as an official language (alongside Spanish), so if there are 51 states next year (as I have heard of Puerto Rico proposing candidacy in 2012), then 32 (possibly 35) states will have English as an official language. That's a little less or more than 2/3 of states, which is around 65% of states.
