Obama got away with assassinating two Americans via drone attack, how is this hypothetical different?

Obama should have been held accountability, but still, hypothetically, I can see a pretty big difference between a drone strike against alleged Al Qaeda members in the Middle East and if President Biden ordered a strike against Donald Trump, don’t you?
Morally - yes.
Legally…I’m not so sure.
In essence, legally, he murdered two US citizens who didn’t revoke their citizenship, or have their citizenship revoked.
Again, President Obama may have had a moral justification, but it’s the legality of the circumstance that is at question.

It’s not the underlying legality that is at question. It’s whether the action was taken within the scope of the duties of the office.
Obama’s drone strikes rather indisputably were ordered as part of his performance of his duty as commander in chief.
Assassinating political opponents can’t even arguably fit into that category.
