Yes, Presidents don't extrajudicially jail citizens, that would be the act of a dictator.

Presidents can and do regularly take out well known terrorist leaders who attack, injure, and kill US troops. Particularly after a recent attack on our troops. I'm not fond of doing this without a trial either, but this became common place after the War On Terror began and still holds true even if that long time terrorist leader has a side-job/day-job as Iran's General. The US had been trying to take that dude out for almost a decade.
