The government can not revoke the citizenship of a natural-born citizen. Naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked.

A natural-born citizen can choose to revoke their own citizenship but the government can't take it away from them.

Concerning the drones, I am having a hard time imagining that a person 10,000 miles away is posing an immediate and imminent threat to the US.

When it comes to using drones against US citizens, the Bush/Obama policy violates so many rights I can't wait for this to come up before the SCOTUS. And there is no way Obama can avoid responsibility.
