Ron Paul: Al-Awlaki Killing is Unconstitutional
October 04, 2011 09:07pm
Presidential candidate Ron Paul claims that the targeted killing of American-born al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki is unconstitutional and grounds for impeachment.
The Texas Congressman and contender for the GOP declared that because of President Obama’s “flouting” of the law, impeachment is definitely possible.
According to Paul, the assassination of any American citizen, regardless of the reason, is a drastic leap towards “tyranny.” Paul’s backlashing came after the Obama administration announced the killing of the prominent al Qaeda figure.
