We elect him to follow the processes laid out in the constitution for making decisions.
So you don't mind handing the president the exclusive authority to call for the head of a US citizen?
You don't see how that authority might be extra-constitutional and easily abused? Lest we forget, the president may one day chose to target someone you like instead of someone you hate.
Yes I would mind him calling for the head of a Citizen. We are not talking about Citizens here.
From the article linked in the OP:
Anwar al-Awlaki....
He's said to be on a U.S. list that approves death or capture of key terrorist suspects. The 39-year-old's placement on the list in April made him the first U.S. citizen to land on the CIA targeted kill list.
The lawsuit also aimed to block the assassination green light against al-Awlaki, and compel the U.S. government to disclose the guidelines for putting a U.S. citizen on such a list.
Well then I have a big problem with it.
