A more accurate question would be "Should denying the right to due process to citizens who are believed to be actively engaging or supporting deliberate attacks on Americans and who are currently out of the reach of our domestic system of due process be an impeachable offense". The answer to that question is "No".
Personally, I don't care whether someone is a US citizen or not. If they are known to be conspiring to murder others, I have no moral or ethical issues with having them killed. Our system of due process isn't good in and of itself. Our system of due process is good because it's a useful means to preventing wrongful convictions and abuse of power - which history has shown to be a legitimate problem when the power to convict is given to an individual like a king. But from what I understand, Al-Awaki's death was not an instance of wrongful conviction.
As targeted killings and the drone program expands, we probably need to develop a similar system with better oversight than we have now in order to prevent wrongful convictions and abuse of power. But I think it's stupid and morally irresponsible to sit back and allow an individual to use their US citizenship as a loophole for immunity while they actively contribute to violence against innocent Americans.
