Yes, the U.S. needs to use all means necessary to combat terrorism

Strongly agree
Yes

However, drones were not in use during his presidency, so it's difficult to say with certainty how he would feel about their specific use.

Agree
No, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists
While Nixon would likely support the use of drones for intelligence gathering, his aggressive foreign policy suggests that he would also support their use for targeted strikes. However, without specific historical references to drone use, this is speculative.

Slightly agree
Yes, but only with permission from the country in question
Nixon's foreign policy was often unilateral, as evidenced by his expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia without the consent of the Cambodian government. This suggests that he might not see the need for permission from the country in question for drone use.

Disagree
No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war
While Nixon did respect the role of Congress in declaring war, he also expanded the Vietnam War without a formal declaration. This suggests that he might not see a Congressional declaration as necessary for the use of drones.
