No, the office of PRESIDENT is ordained of God. The office is ordained of God. The one who sits in the office is not always ordained of Him. However, we are required to pray for everyone that is authority (1 Tim. 2:1-6)
Exactly. Government is ordained of God. That doesn't mean the ones in there are ordained of Him.

The Kims are kept in office by Satan. They also fail the Romans 13 test for God ordained government miserably, the minimum requirement is that they honor those who do good and punish the wrongdoer.

I have heard people say that numerous times. Whenever I ask them why they believe that God would intentionally put someone in office who promotes murder of innocent unborn children and homosexual perversion I could never get a straight answer. I was only told that "God is in control" and Romans 13 says that God put him there.

When I heard a man of God whom I have the utmost respect for say it, I tried to reconcile it in my mind: and the only thing I could come up with is that because the people wanted it, much like the Hebrews wanted a king, so God gave them Saul; and gave us Barack Obama. Other than that, I can't see it.
