I can’t name a single US president who has not been eligible for “war criminal” status. Not that that makes what Obama did okay, just clarifying that his actions weren’t uniquely egregious. If I were him, my defense would be that we were gonna engage in those strikes either way, but this way American lives were not on the line. In that case, expanding drone strikes could be painted as good in a lot of people’s minds.
Maybe the best person to have ever been president was Carter, and he still continued to enable a genocide of East Timor by Indonesia.

William Henry Harrison was only president March 4, 1841 – April 4, 1841 (31 days). While he was a slave owner, he MIGHT not be a war criminal.
William Henry Harrison absolutely was a war criminal before he was president though. See: Tippecanoe
Lincoln only war crimed Indians a little bit he’s got my vote as best of the bunch
