The "missing" 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows:
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive,
or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the
consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension,
office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king,
prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen
of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office
of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

At the first reading, the meaning of this 13th Amendment (also called the
"title of nobility" Amendment) seems obscure, unimportant. The references to
"nobility", "honour", "emperor", "king", and "prince" lead us to dismiss
this amendment as a petty post-revolution act of spite directed against the
British monarchy. But in our modern world of Lady Di and Prince Charles,
anti-royalist sentiments seem so archaic and quaint, that the Amendment can
be ignored. Not so. Consider some evidence of its historical significance:

* First, "titles of nobility" were prohibited in both Article VI of the
Articles of Confederation (1777) and in Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of
the Constitution of the United States (1787);
* Second, although already prohibited by the Constitution, an additional
"title of nobility" amendment was proposed in 1789, again in 1810, and
according to Dodge, finally ratified in 1819. [link to www.apfn.org]

"Emoluments"- is that anything like the millions of dollars the Chinese gave the Clintons and Middle Eastern entities gave Obama? Surely a foreign power would want some favor in return for such huge amounts of money.

former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi: Congressional pay cut undermines dignity of the job

[link to thehill.com]


From the same 'Lawyer' which receives huge campaign cash from international and US corporate law firms. Also from the Congressional representative that forced the US Air Force to fly a 220 passenger Boeing 757 each week back and forth between her district and Washington DC, because, she didn't want to stop to refuel on on of the USAF executive jets.


Remember, they all only get away with what the people allow.
