Don’t we have a law against assassinating the leaders of other countries?

No, we have an Executive Order against it. EOs can be changed or overridden by the new President.

Executive orders only apply to employees working in the administration or within the bureaucracy, not the President. Any president who decides to Norin Executive Order is perfectly empiwered to do so.

An executive order put in place by Carter is perfectly able to be ignored by any President.
