Still, former President Bill Clinton would “definitely” be willing to get a vaccine, as soon as one is “available to him, based on the priorities determined by public health officials,” spokesman Angel Ureña said. President Donald Trump was asked this summer if he would consider being the first to take the vaccine to send a message that it was safe. Vaccine trials excluded volunteers who had overt diagnosed infections — including those who had gotten treatment for the virus, which Trump had in October.

To be sure, Executive power includes the responsibility for carrying into effect the laws passed by the Legislature that is, applying the general rules to a particular situation. They could insinuate checks and balances into the Executive branch itself by conferring Executive power on multiple individuals (a council) thus dividing the power.
