I am writing a persuasive essay on the legality of Operation Geronimo in which the US president authorized a mission to kill Osama Bin Laden. Based on two references that I want to use to make my case that it was in the president's legal authority, how could I lay out the paragraphs to point out the justifications. The following are the two references:

Pezzi, S. M. (2011, May 16). The legality of killing Osama bin Laden. Harvard National Security Journal. https://harvardnsj.org/2011/05/16/the-legality-of-killing-osama-bin-laden/

Dunlap, C. J. (2019, January 31). Yes, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was lawful. Lawfire. https://sites.duke.edu/lawfire/2019/01/31/yes-the-raid-that-killed-osama-bin-laden-was-lawful/

I can provide the essay I have so far but just wanting it to be more concise, thank you.
