The POTUS has little to do with legislation.
I'd google the House and Senate members to see if any has an interest. You might also peruse the bios to see if any graduate from HS early or show signs of GT.
From a vote-getting perspective, this is not an issue that will get most candidates votes and which will then translate into action.
So, it has to be a personal interest and will most likely have to be couched in terms of math and science and technology.
There would be two directions for funding - one for research and the other for actual change at the school level.
You would also have to have an idea of what you wanted to accomplish and it would have to be measurable or you would leave open the rep to criticism and even some sort of 60 Minutes hatchet job.
I would think the most meaningful thing would be to add GT Identification and awareness to Education curriculum at the Teachers' Colleges and for Teacher and Medical Professionals CE classes.
Simple Tests to ID possible GT kids early ( 6-24 mos ) at a Dr's office would be another line of research - maybe a longitudinal study in a major metro area. All Peds look for kids falling behind, but few if any look for GT kids either - yet both are at risk!!
