Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information on precisely
whom is eligible for a TFR. Is this a rule that's written down
anywhere?

Not that I'm aware of. You might ask AOPA.

Presidential/VIP movement TFRs
Notice to pilots: Presidential/VIP movement TFRs can be issued
with little advance notice. This list is not necessarily complete.
Pilots must check with flight service for ALL applicable notams
immediately prior to flight. This page generally includes
Presidential/VIP movement notams that are 5-nm radius or larger or
impact one or more airports.

Until further notice: St. Michaels, Maryland
August 4-7: Hagerstown/Thurmont, Maryland
August 8-18: Jackson, Wyoming
Anticipated - August 9-12: Kennebunkport, Maine

Or you could contact the FAA with your question:

But I suspect the answer lies with the Transportation Security
Administration: http://contact.tsa.dhs.gov/default.aspx

FARs are particularly vague about the criteria used to establish TFRs
for political dignitaries:

Title 14: Aeronautics and Space
PART 91—GENERAL OPERATING AND FLIGHT RULES
Subpart B—Flight Rules
General

§ 91.139 Emergency air traffic rules.
(a) This section prescribes a process for utilizing Notices to
Airmen (NOTAMs) to advise of the issuance and operations under
emergency air traffic rules and regulations and designates the
official who is authorized to issue NOTAMs on behalf of the
Administrator in certain matters under this section.

(b) Whenever the Administrator determines that an emergency
condition exists, or will exist, relating to the FAA's ability to
operate the air traffic control system and during which normal
flight operations under this chapter cannot be conducted
consistent with the required levels of safety and efficiency—

(1) The Administrator issues an immediately effective air traffic
rule or regulation in response to that emergency condition; and

(2) The Administrator or the Associate Administrator for Air
Traffic may utilize the NOTAM system to provide notification of
the issuance of the rule or regulation.

Those NOTAMs communicate information concerning the rules and
regulations that govern flight operations, the use of navigation
facilities, and designation of that airspace in which the rules
and regulations apply.

(c) When a NOTAM has been issued under this section, no person may
operate an aircraft, or other device governed by the regulation
concerned, within the designated airspace except in accordance
with the authorizations, terms, and conditions prescribed in the
regulation covered by the NOTAM.
