No, it is important to sort out the legalites for future cases. This case shows a gaping whole in our laws. The POTUS needs clear guidelines. Obama didn’t have it this time and made the decision without them. One of the jobs of being POTUS. He took a chance.

I believe the courts will show he made the right choice.

It’s also a can of worms.
Can the PotUS order drone strikes on militia compounds? A number of them have stated goals of the overthrow of the US government. Not to mention stockpiling weapons. Threat to the public? Maybe, maybe not?
Can o’ worms.
