RE: I assume you mean nothing unless congress passes a law, correct?

Yes.

Can anyone show me an article in the Constitution barring President Bush from being King of Afghanistan in 2004? (assuming he were offered that position?).

Can’t find it there either.

However, political reality is such that it won’t ever happen, unless of course Americans collectively went bananas.

So if the FF intent would allow Zippo to be King of Kenya and president, how about King of England and president?

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Come on people! This is basic stuff. Constitution 101!
