I’ve found that most people who’ve commented recently on the Jared and Ivanka Kushner’s Shabbos observance, really didn’t understand the dynamics of what is involved.

I wrote a piece on ‘Karov l’malchus 2017- to boldly go where no posek has gone before’ that deals with that.   See http://rygb.blogspot.ca/2017/03/karov-lmalchus-guest-post-by-ben-rothke.html

Let me know what you think.
==============================
Actually there was quite a lot of discussion when Senator Lieberman was running for VP(at least I did a shiur on it then ☺).  I’m reminded of R’Asher Weiss’s comment on lack of sh”ut on running an army and a state and what’s a poseik to do (look back to Tanach, libi omer li…).
The poskim on karov lmalchut (see b”y and bach on y”d 179)offer differing theories which have a real impact lmaaseh (e.g does it have to be hatzallat all Yisrael) and don’t opine on how direct the connection must be. Also of interest is differentiating between issues of dress and non ubchukoteihem issues.
Perhaps the most important question is who to ask the question of.  One interesting point made by the bach is perhaps the practice must be one they otherwise wouldn’t have undertaken.
