Was the law (passed during Ford's presidency, I think) that banned assassination of foreign heads of state overturned without my notice or recollection? Or was the article referring to other foreigners? (in which case I did not think we had any such laws)

It may even still be in place; all that is really needed is a new EO saying "The provisions of EO 12333 are hereby suspended with respect to the person of (fill in the blank)."
