Is the title of "esquire" granted to lawyers by a foreign government or power?

No? It's just something they call themselves?

Taking this to a logical conclusion every single one of us who uses the title of Mr. (Master) or Mrs. (Mistress) or Miss can not hold office.

By default that leaves only radical feminist who call themselves Ms. in charge.

ABANDON SHIP!
