Not with my consent!

It seems that someone impersonating the President of the United States has decided to kill a U.S. Citizen, without benefit of presentment or indictment, and without due process of law. The facts of that killing are evident, and without any doubt. The person in question has all but boasted of them.

I will remind you of the relevant words of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which I believe remains the law of the land here:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. (Emphasis in bold)

It would appear to follow that the so-called President has violated his Oath of Office, which I will quote here: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. The text of that oath may be found in Article Two, Section One, Clause Eight of that Constitution.

I do not care if the person killed was the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler, or had simply engaged (as he appears to have done) in the aid and comfort of the enemies of the United States. The so-called President should have had the brains, the heart, and the guts to declare war, and (at the very least) should have occasioned a trial of the man for treason, before killing him.

The failure of the so-called President to do so was and remains a violation of his Oath of Office. Under Article 1, Section 3, clauses 6 and 7, it is for the Senate to determine whether the so-called President is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors for his actions under Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution.

While I doubt that the Senate will do so, as we currently have the best government that money can buy, I can at least exercise my rights of speech, the press, and petitioning the government for redress of grievances to say that this was a great wrong against the Constitution, and against the people of the United States.

Perhaps the so-called President can go down the road of tyranny.

But not with my consent!
