Who was the last American president who didn't have war crimes on their CV?

Obama's foreign policy was repugnant too.

Yeah this is true, I still think Bush and Cheney are notable outliers in the international crime stakes tho. Wars and assassinations are the norm for America, but state sanctioned torture / and on that scale - was relatively novel.

Didn’t drone strikes go up by something bonkers like 400% under Obama?
