Best Answer

Yes, as Commander in Chief, he has the authority to order a military mission that captures or kills those who have attacked the United States. All presidents have the ability to use "necessary and appropriate" military force to retaliate against such an attack, whether it is by a country (Japan during World War II) or by an individual (Osama bin Laden).

Should Obama be arrested for kiling Osama Bin Laden?

First off, Mr. Obama did not kill Osama Bin Laden; US Navy SEALs Team Six did. President Obama simply ordered his execution. Second of all, Mr. Obama should not be punished for ordering Osama Bin Laden's death, as Bin Laden was the number one Most Wanted Terrorist by the FBI, and Obama is the head of our government. Thirdly, The Navy SEALs were supposed to apprehend Osama Bin Laden, not kill him. The SEALs killed Bin Laden because he was heading towards a cache of weapons in the room that he was hiding.
