The 1812 E~Clause with Teeth = 13th Amendment

On December 9th, 1812, the E~Clause was given TEETH when it was ratified to become the 13th Amendment, stripping any one of Citizenship who breached it’s provisions.

“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.”

This 13th Article of Amendment was printed in both the 1815 Statutes at Large and the 1825 – Military Laws of the United States . . . and was published as a lawful, fully ratified Article for over 65 years in State Statute books that can still be found on Google Books.
