In 1976, Gerald Ford's Executive Order (EO) 11905 said:
"No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."

"No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination."
