Waterboarding is torture. We said so during WWII, we said so when the Shining Path did it, and we were right. It is torture, and we should not torture.

Question for the morally pure out there - What due process does a non-combatant in a country who is not at war with the US receive when a hellfire missile kills him and any other bystanders who happened to be near him?

I’m not morally pure, but he doesn’t have any due process. It’s a moral choice that taking the risk of killing innocents is worth the chance to kill someone who is a certainty of killing innocents.

As to the constitutionality: I have no clue. I am nowhere near the level of expertise in the constitution I’d have to have to approach that question.
