Question 2

Examine and explain the Johnson Amendment and President Trump's influence on the amendment.

Accepted Answer

The Johnson Amendment is a provision in the U.S. tax code that prohibits all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, including churches and religious institutions, from endorsing or opposing political candidates. This amendment was proposed by then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson in 1954 and was later passed by Congress. The purpose of the Johnson Amendment is to maintain the separation of church and state and to prevent tax-exempt organizations from using their resources to influence elections.

President Trump has expressed his desire to repeal the Johnson Amendment, claiming that it restricts the free speech rights of religious leaders and organizations. In 2017, he signed an executive order directing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to exercise "maximum enforcement discretion" when it comes to the Johnson Amendment, effectively loosening its restrictions. However, it's important to note that only Congress has the authority to repeal the Johnson Amendment, and so far, no legislative action has been taken to do so.

President Trump's influence on the Johnson Amendment has sparked debate and controversy, with some arguing that it could blur the lines between religion and politics, while others believe it is a necessary step to protect the free speech rights of religious organizations. As of now, the Johnson Amendment remains in effect, but the debate surrounding its future continues.
