In Response To: Re: North wins in a year ()

Evelyn,

This is the text of the "Original" 13th Amendment ratified in 1819:

"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."

There are a number of sites dedicated to this "amendment" which appears, though ratified by the states to have, for lack of a better word, disappeared from our Constitution.

Here is an interesting website devoted to this story.
