Bush never assassinated any Americans without due process,

That isn't true.

Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi aka Abu Ali al-Harithi ( Arabic: ??? ??? ???????? ) (died November 3, 2002) was an al-Qaida operative and a citizen of Yemen who is suspected of having been involved in the October 2000 USS Cole bombing. [1] He was killed by the CIA during a covert targeted killing mission in Yemen on November 3, 2002. The CIA used an Predator drone to shoot the Hellfire missile that killed al-Harithi and five other al-Qaida operatives as they rode in a vehicle 100 miles (160 km) east of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. [2]

Al-Harithi was traveling with Kamal Derwish (Ahmed Hijazi), a US citizen, and Derwish's killing was the first known case of the U.S. government killing a U.S. citizen during the " War on Terror". [3] It was also the first Predator attack outside of Afghanistan. [1]

The George W. Bush administration, citing the authority of a presidential finding that permitted worldwide covert actions against Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, considered al-Harithi and his traveling party a justifiable military target. [1] [3] Nonetheless, the targeted killing of al-Harithi was the subject of debate on its legality. [4]
