Giuliani and the 13th admendment

[W.J. Hammond]

Giuliani recieved a knghthood from the queen of England. The 13th admendment of the U.S. constitution says that if a American citizen accepts a knighthood without getting premision from congress that person is no longed a American citize and canot hold any public office in America. Why is this person seeking to be president when is not even a citizen? Where is that outrage? God Bless

 

[Matt Collins]

This has been debunked I believe

Here is the text of the 13th Amendment:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


What the heck are you talking about?

Doesn't matter... The US Government ONLY ENFORCES LAWS it wishes too!

not the 13th, and honory title anyway.

McCain does not believe in the 13th amendment

It was never ratified. It would have expanded on Article 1 Section 9, which basically says that congress cannot grant titles of nobility

It's pointless in any case. As I understand it, knighthood is completely ceremonial if you aren't a citizen of the UK. He can't even legally call himself Sir Giuliani.

It's not the 13th amendment. It's article I section 9 of the original constitution.

http://www.constitution.org/cons/constitu.htm

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.
