To the Editor:

   As John Adams put it, a republic must be "a government of laws and not of men".  If president Obama has made  himself the sole arbiter of who will be targeted for killing without charges or trial, he has abandoned our Founding Fathers' dreams. He may be a benevolent dictator, but no one should mistake him for the legitimate president of the American republic. That enterprise of dead.
