I thought congress gave consent for such prizes almost a half a century ago. U.S. Code Title 5, Part III, Subpart F, Chapter 73, Subchapter IV, Section 7342: Receipt and disposition of foreign gifts and decorations.

They should focus on the real problem, his taking a position in the UN- that Congress has never given consent for and is far worse than some stupid prize that has long ago been tarnished.

I totally agree.
If this is a valid issue, wouldn't the peanut President have to give his Peace Prize back?

The problem is the U.S. Code has often been in violation of the US Constitution for decades. As you know, the U.S. Code laws and regulations originate from Congressional law and regulation. That does not make them Constitutional because a Congress passes said bills and a President signs them.

All (3) branches of our Republic have been ignoring or parsing original Constitutional "intent" since FDR. I take that back. It started before FDR, but he solidified the "nullification" of the original intent of the FF's.

We could probably go for weeks debating unConstitutional law (U.S. Code).
