All attorneys and judges who claim the title esquire, a title of English nobility beneath knighthood and extended to professional men, are incapable of holding public office under the Amendment. If enforced, nearly half the legislators in office throughout America would be removed from office and stripped of their citizenship. Sounds like a plan

Unfortunately, there is a problem: merely because someone appends "esquire" to their name does not amount to actually having a title of nobility. The defense against being removed from office and stripped of citizenship is simple enough: demand that the accuser produce a certified true copy of the royal patent of nobility issued by the Crown to the accused.
The accusers would stand there, dumbfounded, because they'd be manifestly unable to provide such a document.
