On what grounds?

Several. Obama gave the order for drone strikes, and as a result an American citizen died. Notice I didn't argue about the father or the other guy, just the son. The policy is Obama's, it happened under his authority as President, and as such he is responsible as CinC.

Given that, Obama almost certainly couldn't even be charged with a crime, even if the statute of limitations hadn't run out ages ago.

There's no statute of limitations for murder.

At any rate, the point isn't to try Barack Obama here. The point is to show that Presidents do things that require immunity. I chose the Obama example because the "Trump can order Seal Team 6 to blow up..." and what not is extremely boring. Not to mention stupid.
