It doesn't matter. The Constitution does not allow for the assassination of any US citizen.

In fact, the Constitution says this:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Call a US citizen an enemy combatant and they're STILL a US citizen with rights under the Constitution.
