Inherency

Contention 1 is Inherency 

A. Obama increased Drone Strikes too an all-time high and they continue to go on unchecked setting a bad norm for the global standard of Drone Warfare
Baker 13 (Peter, “In Terror Shift, Obama Took a Long Path”, May 27,2013, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/28/us/politics/in-terror-shift-obama-took-a-long-path.html?pagewanted=alland_r=0)BAL
WASHINGTON — The pivot in counterterrorism policy that President Obama announced last week was nearly
AND
base for waging what some called an illegal war and asserting unchecked power.

Plan text

Thus the following Plan: The United States Congress should substantially increase statutory restriction on the war powers authority of the president of the United States by passing legislation to ban the use of Signature strikes and limit targeted killings to individuals who U.S. officials claim are being targeted

Advantage 1 – Targeted Strikes

Advantage 1 is targeted Strikes
A. Signature strikes are at an all-time high - kill more civilian than terrorist
Taylor 12 (Robert , “Predator Drone strikes 50 civilians are killed for every 1 terrorist and the CIA only wants to up the Drone Warefare”, October 2012, http://www.policymic.com/articles/16949/predator-drone-strikes-50-civilians-are-killed-for-every-1-terrorist-and-the-cia-only-wants-to-up-drone-warfare)BAL
While the 2012 presidential election racket focuses on gaffes, Romney's binders, and Big
AND
robots by remote control than to send in thousands of Marines, right?
B. Targeted Strikes are effective - kill Terrorist leaders, minimize civilian casualties – best alternative
Young 13 (Alex, Associated Staff of Harvard International Review, “A Defense of Drones”, Harvard International Review, February 25, 2013, http://hir.harvard.edu/a-defense-of-drones) BAL
The War on Terror is no longer a traditional conflict. The diffuse, decentralized
AND
shortcomings of the alternatives make drones the best choice for eliminating terrorist leaders.

C. Killing terrorist leaders cripple their recruitment drive, communication infrastructure, and causes infighting within terrorist organizations
Young 13 (Alex, Associated Staff of Harvard International Review, “A Defense of Drones”, Harvard International Review, February 25, 2013, http://hir.harvard.edu/a-defense-of-drones) BAL

Critics also claim that eliminating only the senior leaders of terrorist organizations does not make
AND
drones are and must remain an integral part of the War on Terror.

D. Signature Strikes fail to eliminate High profile terrorist like Wuhayshi and terrorist organization like AQAP still pose a threat to the US security and global stability
Londono 13 (Ernesto, “Terrorism alert highlights potent threat posed by al-Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate”, August 06, 2013, http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-08-06/world/41129295_1_wuhayshi-tora-bora-osama)BAL 

When the Sept. 11, 2001, plot was hatched, Nasir al-
AND
down a U.S. passenger plane on Christmas Day in 2009.
E. AQAP has the intent and capability to strike the US homeland
Zimmerman 2012 (Katherine Zimmerman, senior analyst and the al Qaeda and Associated Movements Team Lead for the American Enterprise Institute’s Critical Threats Project, October 19, 2012, “Al Qaeda in Yemen: Countering the Threat from the Arabian Peninsula,” AEI Critical Threats, http://www.criticalthreats.org/yemen/zimmerman-qaeda-yemen-countering-threat-arabian-peninsula-october-19-2012)
The evolution of AQAP into an insurgent group aiming at controlling and governing territory in
AND
course, its ability to plan and conduct attacks abroad could increase considerably.
F. Unchecked Terrorism results in extinction
Ayson 2010 (Robert Ayson, Professor of Strategic Studies and Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies: New Zealand at the Victoria University of Wellington,“After a Terrorist Nuclear Attack: Envisaging Catalytic Effects,” Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, Volume 33, Issue 7, July,)
A terrorist nuclear attack, and even the use of nuclear weapons in response by
AND
for the terrorists. This might not help the chances of nuclear restraint.

Solvency
Contention 2 is Solvency
A. Plan Solves – Limiting the president power to conduct Signature Strikes will set a global norm that Drone Warfare isn’t a new age of warfare and is just another tool
Zenko 13 (Micah, Micah Zenko is the Douglas Dillon fellow in the Center for Preventive
Action (CPA) at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He is the author or coauthor of three previous Council Special Reports, January 2013, Council on Foreign relations, “Reforming U.S. Drone Strike Policies”, Pg. 25-26, 

In short, a world characterized by the proliferation of armed¶ drones—used
AND
it meets the principles of distinction and proportionality¶ that the Obama administration claims

B. Ending Signature Strikes forces the US to shift to Targeted Strikes with more efficiency and minimal risk
VanValkenberg 13 (Noah VanValkenberg, March 2, 2013, http://outsidecolby.com/2013/03/making-drones-more-effective-refining-a-necessary-practice-in-warfare/) BAL
Drones are a crucial piece of the United States’ global war on terror. They
AND
the Obama administration must end, and targeted strikes must take their place.¶
