I refuse to carry on conversations with people who refuse to read what I write and then decide to attack me for things I did NOT write.
So, good day.
You said:
the President now has the power to order the assassination of US Citizens outside the US, at his whim, a power he has already exercised.
The President is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces so of course he can order the killing of any illegal enemy combatant on the battle field legally as per our Constitution. Yet you claim that the power is at his whim which is pure BS. Any President can be charged by Congress for abusing his power and for crimes.
When people add in comments like you did of at his whim you are distorting the issue and lying about the powers involved. This argument also only goes to protect traitors and illegal enemy combatants (terrorists) and not to protect liberty.
