It was the CIA/Pentagon complex' idea to target al-Awaki with a laser guided bomb.I can see where Eric Holder might object and where the Pentagon agreed to paste his Miranda warnings to the ordinance to shut Holder up.

Just send a cop over, they don’t need due process.

The short answer is... No. It is illegal for the federal government of the United States to kill a citizen without trial and conviction.

Simple answer, yes. He was a traitor and clearly had given up citizenship when he joined Al Qaeda. I think for him the way he died was too merciful.

I think your question has been answered in a most delightful way. Calling this thing an American is a insult to logic.

I could see one point in all this, they should have stripped his citizenship....what I don’t know is if he would have to be present because he was born in the US.

I feel that we should be stripping 100s of citizenships a week from people for violations of law and treason.

Makes me think of the Civil War. Where was the ACLU back then?

He's not a citizen, under action of USC 8, Sec. 1481.

As a member of Al-Qaeda he took a loyalty oath to that organization, which holds itself to be at war with the U.S. Under (2) and (3) he had renounced his American citizenship rights and had no Constitutional rights. Poof. He made himself into a free fire zone. I hope he enjoyed it.

As long as you don’t elect him as president first... it’s ok.

The basis for the question is incorrect.

This dude was not engaged in simple acts of criminal nature. If he was, then he was certainly owed due process and a trial.

He was actively engaged in acts of war against the United States. The only thing owed here was elimination.

If it is a battlefield/conflict situation and that citizen is on the other side, yes, yes they can. BTW, our Constitution does not apply in foreign lands that would be colonialism and the ACLU-leftists usually oppose that.... most of the time.

Can U.S. legally kill a citizen overseas without due process?

If you, by direct combat action or non-combat planning and support, wage war against the U.S., you are an enemy combatant and can be legally killed.

Next question.

So, the Vichy French forces could legally kill the Free French forces, and vice versa, for the same reason?

Yes. Next question.

So, the Union forces could legally kill the Confederate forces, and vice versa, for the same reason?

Yes. Next question.

We at at war.
In war the goal is to kill the enemy.
The man was the enemy.
He was killed.
Sounds good to me.............

Obama can do anything he wants to do, no one cares, nobody tries to stop him. All media is in the tank including Fox News for the chosen one. Congress is worthless the GOP is weak. The only one standing up gets blasted by both sides.
