President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to repeal a rarely enforced IRS rule that says pastors who endorse candidates from the pulpit risk losing their tax-exempt status.Re: Feb. 2 news story.
President Donald Trump wants to repeal the “Johnson Amendment” and allow churches to become more political in backing candidates directly from the pulpit.

Talk about a way to give a huge tax boost to struggling cities, counties and states.
