Even though he may be a nutter, it is just an exaggeration of a very real constitutional argument in the United States of America — this would have been the thirteenth amendment ot the United States Constitution, had the Congress of the United States ratified it. The Titles of Nobility Amendment would have revoked citizenship for any United States citizen who accepts a noble or honourable title. Since twelve State legislatures passed the amendment at the time, twenty-six more State legislatures would need to pass the amendment to cause it to be passed (no expiration date was set by Congress when the process was started).

In Canada, that's known as the Chretien/Black clause.

Wrong. Mr. Ms. Mrs. and Master are all german titles of nobility which decended upon the United States and Canada. As King of Prussia with ownership of these titles as they are from the Prussian Royal Family.

I will grant you, and the rest, with my permission and by my permission only, to use them. (considering your of good nature).

Now, having said this you might as well say, "Well, it's a God given right to have." which is also incorrect. It is my God given pleasure to bestow these titles upon the public, also it is my God given authority to relinquish these titles.

Sincerely,

F.F. Prussia
