when their convicted dear leader doesn't care about it needing their congressional consent.


Also known as the Title of Nobility Clause, Article I, Section 9 , Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument , office, or title from any "King, Prince, or foreign State ," without congressional consent.


Their bankrupted fraudster, tax cheat, draft dodger, and sexual assaulter doesn't even need to ask for their consent!
