When a US president signs a death list - the assassination of someone, does that person get a trial by a jury of their peers first?

Or do they just get a predator drone missile in their direction?

I think it's accurate to say that a core principle of American justice is that there is one set of rules for the in-group, and another for the out-group. And any institution that tries to normalize this is anathema to that principle.
