The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9:

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.

Does foreign citizen count?

Only if he was holding any office of profit or trust at the time it was granted.

Nope.

Foreign citizenship is not an office, present, emolument or title.
