What do you think of the issue with the comma in the pledge of allegiance?

I’m not sure if this is going on everywhere, but in AK in the last year or so the legistlature has made it so that when you recite the Pledge of Allegiance (US), you have to say “one nation under God” in one breath, instead of “one nation, under God.” they say this is because there is no comma there and that is how it is supposed to be recited. i find this very irritating, why not just add the comma? or better yet, not even bother with it? Has this been an issue in your area? What do you think of it?
