Of course, the U.S. Founding Fathers weren't perfect in grammar either.
In the Preamble to the Constitution, we read:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect
union..."

Perfect is perfect. It's as far as you can go. You can't have something
be more perfect, can you?

That phrase bothers me each time I read it. It's the kind of thing
editors ponder but no one else cares about...

The motto as written is a play off the similar sounding (and punctuated)
phrase in the Declaration of Independence.
