If the thug were a citizen maybe, I do not beleive he was.
“In order to lose his citizenship, it must be shown that the U.S. citizen joined the foreign military or swore allegiance to another state “with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality”.
Awlaki said: “With the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S. and being a Muslim, and I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim,”
“In order to lose his citizenship, it must be shown that ..."
Shown? Shown where? Shown to whom? Obama? You? Me?
To my knowledge, it wasn't shown either in Congress or any Court.
Look, all I'm asking is that SOMEBODY of some vested governmental authority OTHER THAN Barack H. Obama make some determination that Awlaki had relinquished citizenship.
I agree that there's ample evidence for such a finding; but if Obama is the ONLY person who needs to make such a finding, doesn't need to tell anybody, and can then "EXECUTE" such a finding .... well, then we're all in deep, deep doo-doo.
