The President Has the Constitutional Power to Target and Kill U.S. Citizens Abroad. A Debate
Description
In 2011, President Obama tested the limits of the executive branch's authority when he ordered a drone strike on Anwar al-Awlaki, an accused terrorist born in New Mexico and living in Yemen. Does the president have constitutional authority as commander in chief of the armed forces to target and kill U.S. citizens abroad, or do such actions violate the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution?
