It seems you are being a bit sarcastic here. Does God appoint all govermental authority? Yes or No?

Authority is ordained by God ,but not all forms of govt. hence communism or the Third Reich.

So you are saying God made a mistake by allowing this republic to be founded?

You are saying the founding fathers of this country got it all wrong?

Or are you admitting that voters can be the instruments of God which He choses to use IN THIS COUNTRY to place rulers in office?
