The plotlines are designed so that you have to, but there is no actual need to kill him; in fact, it'd probably be slightly easier not to.

"Here's how the situation stands, Robert. I've taken control of your security systems and your robot army, the Legion now belongs to me, I've achieved a mutually beneficial alliance with the NCR now that General Oliver's been dealt with*, and I've either eradicated or brought on board all the tribes of the wasteland. Basically, I've brought about exactly what you ostensibly wanted for this planet, in terms of peaceful stability, relative prosperity, and potential for recovery. I am effectively you at this point, except more capable and far, far better-looking.

After all, it would have been much harder for me to accomplish all this without the groundwork you laid in the first place. Why not think of this as your victory, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement after a job well done? As soon as we've re-established the HW link with the rest of the galaxy, I'll see about getting broadband to your pod."
