The United States Constitution
Strange that I have heard nothing of this on the media – left or right. From Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution:
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.

Bear that in mind and read this story:
- Obama gets bling from the King
- He isn’t the only one either
The second article makes it sound like it is not uncommon among either party. Well, most of the stuff is immediately turned over to the State Department. The only problem is, it sounds like maybe the Constitution, you know, requires prior approval. I mean, I don’t have the brilliant mind of someone stuck in Washington D.C.
Where is the respect for the Constitution? Do they even read it in DC?
