AFAIK Congress could pass a law explicitly stating it's illegal for the president to murder people on a whim, but under the current legal regime I don't think there's any recourse at all. When al-Awlaki's father tried to represent his son before the court, arguing that al-Awlaki couldn't come in person because the US would extralegally shoot him in the head the second they had him in custody, the courts told him he had no standing and to fuck off. That was a whole ass moment.
