Ah, well, but then there's this:

    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.  -- US Constitution, Art. 1, Sec. 9


OTOH, there's also this from the same article & section:

    The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended,
    unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety
    may require it.

and that's been tossed into the memory hole so maybe y'all can do the same
with the "Title of Nobility" clause, too.

In YADATROT [1] I'm reminded of the occasions when some hospital support
group decides to have an art auction and solicits donations of original
works from artists.  The proceeds from the auction are to go to buy a new
MRI scanner, digital proctoscope or the like.

They laughed at me when when I said, "Doctors have six-figure incomes, you
folks in the Ladies' Aid Society are married to lawyers, business owners and
executives with even higher incomes. This is all bass ackwards. How about
you get the physicians, surgeons and hospitals to donate nose jobs, breast
enhancements, chits good for private hospital rooms with room service or
life-long homecare that can be redeemed as needed.  Auction them off and
donate the proceeds to starving artists who dress in rags, live in hovels
and eat canned beans so that they can buy high-quality paints, Beverly
shears, propane for their glass furnaces or the like."

Oh, well.  It was an idea.
