“Attorney General Eric Holder can imagine a scenario in which it would be constitutional to carry out a drone strike against an American on American soil, he wrote in a letter to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. ‘It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,’ Holder replied to Paul’s question about whether Obama ‘has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.'”
