Remember how your mother always told you to be careful what you wished for? Someone needs to remind the Iowa GOP:
...it wants to reintroduce the "original 13th Amendment" first offered by senator Phillip Reed of Maryland in 1810. The amendment states that "if any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor” from a "foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen" and "shall be incapable of holding any office of trust."
The intent is to strip Obama of his citizenship because of his Nobel Prize. (I'm confused though -- I thought it was gospel in the loonier corridors of the right that he wasn't a citizen in the first place. The Iowa GOP inhabits a crazier corner than the birthers? That's some competitive instinct.)
Of course, there will be a some collateral damage. You'll have to do something about Ronnie Reagan and his English knighthood, not to mention Dwight D. Eisenhower and those military honors from no less than 32 foreign powers, including the commie pinko rooskies.
Wingnuts. Gotta love their ability to look in the rearview mirror and see tomorrow.
