The CDER is a part of the FDA inside the Department of Health and Human Services, the President could absolutely fill that department with people who would correctly schedule marijuana.
Interesting concept except, your confusing a repeatable synthetic above, with a non-repeatable vegetative plant which controls in the equation your using. The sum of 1+3 is not 2 my friend. You can not get a plant to repeat itself 100% on point each and every time which is the underlying "requirement" for any federal rescheduling by "CONGRESS" ONLY when they receive the empirical evidence that it qualifies under the CSA which congress legislated ... And your also confusing whom has what power to do what in regards to the CSA. Read ashcroft v. oregon., Gonzales v. Raich and Barber v. Gonzales. All these cases clearly state that congress has the only power under feds to reschedule but, a state by state can change any drug scheduling it wants through legislation if it is under the "practice of medicine" field which congress has no authority.

Hope this makes sense.

And whom ever the pres. hires to fill them spots, can ONLY write a "RECOMMENDATION" to change u.s. drug policy, they can not collectively or by themselves change anything with out the authorizing authority to do so...which lies with congress. Why do you think Mr. frank introduced the federal mmj act to congress instead of the FDA or DEA or some other "AGENCY" of the executive branch.? Hence, agency !!
