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.

It was a targeted assassination of a U.S. citizen. It wasn’t “collateral” in nature.

Are you suggesting that one US citizen (a political opponent), has more rights than another (a terrorist)?

If that’s the case, if Biden states that “MAGA Republicans” are terrorists, can he kill them as part of his “duties” as CIC?

A second chance to answer (since you didn’t respond the first time):


Again, if Biden says that “MAGA voters” (aka US citizens that won’t support his stupidity) are terrorists, can he have the military (arbitrarily and without penalty) kill them?
