I do honestly wonder if that applies at his level. Could one of his doctors just requisition it? Would a company want to experiment on the president if it wasn't life or death?

I guess we'll know within a couple of days one way or the other.

I agree that the company would probably be happy to risk getting in trouble if it means they can say they saved the President. Besides, it would be his FDA that would have to pursue it.

That's not necessarily true, given that it is so close to a presidential election.
