“That “missing” proposal was called the “Titles of Nobility Amendment” (or TONA). It sought to ban any American citizen from receiving any foreign title of nobility or receiving foreign favors, such as a pension, without congressional approval. The penalty was loss of citizenship.”
Too bad it didn’t say anything about a current sitting president acting like nobility - to where him and his wife are tried and place in prison!
An interesting historical book about an the enigmatic 25th Amendment is THE WATERGATE AMENDMENT. Amazon.com
I remember when this story first came to light 30 years ago, it would have removed citizenship from LAWYERS and disallowed LAWYERS from Government. Not sure where I have the “Original” Story from 30 years ago, but I do have it somewhere, and it was rather detailed as to the Meaning of the Words used at the Time it was proposed.

The original "Titles of Nobility etc" in the Constitution stood.
Jefferson made his own bible and Obama made his own Constitution cut and past works for him.
Below are a couple of excerpts from a Phil Gramm speech made on July Fourth, in the year 2000 at the National Liberal Club located in the City of London. He is talking about a free trade agreement with Great Britain.
“...Let me say that this is not an issue that Americans get up in the morning thinking about. But I would be willing to say that with a weeks work I could offer an amendment in the Senate - and have it adopted - which would give the president the power, the mandate to begin to move towards negotiating a free trade agreement with the UK.”
“... It is not being discussed because Americans don’t know that this is an issue here. But they will.”
And my least favorite passage
...But don’t be confused: we are English.
I always thought that last line was not only strange for a Senator’s 4th of July speech but offensive. It sounded like a reaffirmation of fealty and still does; but at this point, even if the original 13th Amendment was in play, I expect any applicability would be ignored.
