Obama ordered drone strikes that intentionally killed at least two Americans. One he copped to, one he denied was intentional.

To my mind, that is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to be hamstrung by a fear of prosecution.

(Trump ordered drone a drone strike that also killed Abdulrahman's eight-year-old American sister.)

Yeah, this pearl-clutching about presidents being tried for criminal acts is loathsome. I think quite a lot of people believe that quite a few past presidents are guilty of war crimes, and that there should be real consequences for those crimes. My knowledge of history in this regard more or less begins with the Vietnam War: since 1955, I am not aware of a single president who hasn't ordered acts that are crimes against humanity. And throughout that time period, our crimes against humanity have brought ruin to much of the world. Perhaps presidents should fear the law.
