I re-read it. Your assessment of the 13th A as originally written is inaccurate.

The Original Thirteenth Article of Amendment
To The Constitution For The United States

"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

eyeamok's comment to which I responded: "Precisely why “THE TITLES OF NOBILITY” amendment was passed, banning LAWYERS from VOTING or HOlding ANY PUBLIC OFFICE. funny how it mysteriously disappeared after 50 years."

Next time you can do your own research to prove me wrong. Good day.
