To my knowledge, there is no current statute/ordinance/law etc. prohibiting the federal government from such action. Such a law would be idiocy in the extreme.
Pres. Gerald Ford signed an executive order prohibiting the assassination of foreign heads of state, but iirc, George W. Bush recinded that order.
