There has not been a declaration of "war", "Representative" King! The people who have been killed (including the 16 year-old son of Anwar Aw-laki) were not charged with a crime, arrested, tried, or convicted by a jury of their peers. They were simply murdered. If Mr. King as a "Representative" of the People thinks there should be a formal declaration of war, let him and his colleagues vote on the matter.

This is the only thing 0bama has done right since taking office. It´s nothing more than an appropriate continuation of the Bush Doctrine which has kept us safe for over a decade now..
Why 0bama is doing this is anyone´s guess., but I think the military is standing up to this left wing moron and 0bama realizes he need to keep foreign terrorists on the run to superficially preserve his image while he destroys us on the domestic front..
This is the path that GWB put us on - he was right and this power is well within the executive / Commander- in- Chief per the constitution .
America will need this power long after King Barry is in
the dust heap of failed presidents.

With RINOs like these......

so much for the 4, 5, 6 amendments and so much for being innocent until proved guilty.
Rinos and people who think the government is there to protect them now! The slippery slope has been set into motion, who do you think the administration will call "terrorists´ next! two guesses and it isn´t someone over seas

The strikes are to be used only on those "Americans" who have joined the enemy. There are numerous things that scare the s--- out of me about this administration, but tis isn´t one of them.
Go read GWB´s 9/21/01 address before congress to remind yourselves what this is about. Bush was right, he put the right people in the right places in our military and this policy will out last the dithering dirt- ball currently occupying the Oval Office.

Congressional Republicans still just do not get it. They cannot perceive of the evil intent of the President. They insist on assuming he has good intentions no matter how much evidence there is to refute that. Obama´s intent is to destroy America and the Republicans and they still insist on supporting him. I really really want to give up. But I won´t. That is what he wants.

I have to confess that I´m torn on this issue. If we know without any doubt that an American is actively plotting to kill other Americans and has joined with our enemies to do so, I don´t have any problem with killing him before he can kill me or my family. On the other hand, I am 100 percent devoted to the Constitution and I´m not crazy about killing an American in cold blood without due process.

A certifiable idiot.

What ever happened to trial in absentia? Couldn´t we at least try to have some checks and balances? I don´t understand what´s wrong that people don´t get this but by the time the drone is headed for them because they´ve been decreed an enemy of the state, it´ll be too late.

King is a fine representative, I think, but too close to 9/11 and has lost his objectivity in this.

Wonder if we can turn those drones into boomerangs.

This memo is mostly academic because there just isn´t that many Americans on the ground co-habitating with Islam. For one thing Islam is very paranoid about spies and he CIA to let an American in.

Most Americans working with AlQueda are in our own government.
This law has to be a prelude to something else.

For all we know the Saudis wanted the American cleric killed in Yemen and allowed us to use their base for launching purposes.

King should be seeking clarification on the scope of the drone use,seems open ended to me.

I agree with Rep King. The president has the constitutional authority. The president can be removed by election, if anyone disagrees with his policies, or Congress can defund his operations.
