Rand Paul would. Bernie Sanders might.

I would have thought Obama would have. I doubt anyone is going to be able to stop it without shutting down the whole intelligence apparatus.

Bernie definitely would, except -- I'm not too sure JFK wasn't an inside job w/ the CIA - I wouldn't put assinating a president past the NSA, heck I wouldn't put anything past them, the more I read--the more I feel like I woke up in 1984, and we're already in some post-apocalyptic world where Big brother controls everything but we just don't know it (yet).

JFK got done in because Lyndon Johnson was a much more palatable president. If the vice president is not on their side, they'd have to keep killing people down the line of succession until they got to somebody who was. After the vice president: Speaker of the House (currently Paul Ryan) > President pro tempore of the Senate (currently Orrin Hatch) > long line of officials serving at the pleasure of the president.
