Rudy Giuliani Constitutionally Ineligible To Be President

The writers of the U.S. Constitution were very smart individuals. They have secured our freedom from the tyranny of foreign rulers so that we can live in individual liberty.

One aspect our Countries Founders touched on, regarding foreign rulers, was to protect us from those who may infiltrate our government from foreign saboteurs. Someone who held allegiance not to America, but to a foreign power that would subvert our form of government and lead us into tyranny.

The writers included in the Constitution a clause that would ensure that anyone holding a public trust, or title, for a foreign country could not gain public office and subvert our Government.

The Constitution states:

“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.” – Article 1, Section 9

Rudy Giuliani is running for the highest office in the land and he has been knighted by the Queen of England. This knighthood, called “Knight Commander of the British Empire”, was bestowed on Rudy Giuliani on February 13, 2002.

One source: Rudolph Giuliani KBE

The Constitution is very clear that “no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall….. accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

Some may write this off as frivolous, but remember. We are talking about an issue that is plainly written within the Constitution that must be upheld as diligently as if it were the 1st Amendment or any other Amendment we hold so dear. To ignore this is surely the same as to ignore any other part of the Constitution.

Rudy Giuliani MUST either repudiate his title from England or remove himself from running for President of the United States. To go any further in the election process would be to subvert the very Constitution he would swear by oath to protect.

Inaccurate conclusion. This has been debunked numerous times. Read the wording in the Constitution more closely.

He ALREADY has the title, so it doesn't stop him from gaining office. He cannot receive the title WHILE in office. It says nothing about getting it before gaining office.

Yeah, he's allowed to run for office, he just can't accept it while in office. And this makes sense: getting knighted while in office can be in return for a recent political favor, getting it before/after office is more likely to simply represent an award for an achievement.

OT is right.
