No. In the UK a judge is given a formal title of "Mr Justice" followed by the surname. So for example Barack Obama if he became a UK judge would be formally called Mr Justice Obama :tongue:

 

Bad example, since it's illegal for a public servant to accept a title:

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.

In the UK however..

 

* Justice

* Sir

* Lady

Not really...

If he became a UK judge (as I said) it wouldn't be a title of nobility granted by the United States.

Stop being a pedantic mofo trying to be smart <3, i picked a random name Americans would (hopefully) know.

Either argue with me, or tell me not to be pedantic, but don't do both.

 

Read the second half of that clause. He can't accept it while maintaining his office.

 

Bak, a gift is totally different than a title (at least as far as that part of the constitution is concerned).

You're correct. I never noticed that part before (it is called the title of nobility clause, after all). I guess he had to have the consent of congress to accept it, unless it was a gift to the United States, rather than to the President himself.

I think as I understand it, he is allowed to accept the gifts, but he has to pay for them if he wants to keep them otherwise they become property of the United States Government.
