Executive Order: Religion + The Johnson Amendment

Trump signs order loosening oversight of churches' political activities

'You’re now in a position where you can say what you want to say, and I know you’ll only say good and you’ll say what’s in your heart,' Trump told religious leaders. ????????????

“Anything that would currently be illegal under current law would still be illegal, we’re not changing the law," a White House official said

It's unclear what effects the executive order targeting church activities will have.
A White House official acknowledged a day earlier that the order would not change the law.
The executive order leaves the law in place but allows the IRS more discretion to avoid enforcing it.
But on Wednesday, three Senate Democrats, Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), and Bob Casey (D-Pa.), said it still would let religious organizations more actively engage in politics.
The National Council of Nonprofits, the largest network of nonprofit organizations in the country, also said Thursday it opposed the executive order.
The White House official on Wednesday said they do not expect legal challenges, and the official said the changes Trump signed off on would not lead to a major shift in behavior by religious groups.
“No one’s suggesting that churches can take out political ads,” the official said.
