Is English the official language of US?

Yes it is. Wrong. No it certainly is not. While English may be the defacto language of the United States, there is no officially recognized language on the federal level. However, 28 states have passed laws or mandates making English the official language in their states. Actually, English is the official language of 31 states as of today, and three more are greatly considering it (Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas I believe, and I am sure there are more). It has official status in the country, but not at a national level.

What if US had voted to use the German language?

It's actually a myth that the United States once was close to voting German as its official language; the United States does not now, nor has it ever, had an official language. English is used as the de facto official language, but there is in fact no legally official language in the United States. Several states have official languages. Louisiana has English and French; New Mexico has English and Spanish; Hawai'i has English and Hawai'ian; etc. If, theoretically, German or any other language were voted as the official language, in all likelihood there would be little change to how things are done already because English is so widely spoken.
