If this isn’t cause for impeachment, then I don’t know what is. Saying that Obama looks at the list and that he can void names on the list—that sounds like authorizing assassinations to me.

American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials.

Several officials said that when Awlaki became the first American put on the target list, Obama was not required personally to approve the targeting of a person. But one official said Obama would be notified of the principals’ decision. If he objected, the decision would be nullified, the official said.
