Obama administration authorizes killing US citizen

Somehow the President has the authority to wage war without congress. See Vietnam as an example of this.

This is waging a war on terrorism. We're using drones to remotely kill specific individuals (and anyone unlucky enough to be standing near them) in Pakistan. This is exactly the same thing. Whether this sworn enemy of the US is a citizen or not has no relevance.
