Interesting. Of course, the whole Constitution forbidding grants of nobility by the United States might get in the way.

Just a quick note, in case you're not familiar-

When someone entitles something "A Modest Proposal", they're usually referencing Swift, and are attempting to point out the absurdity of the current situation, rather than suggest a serious solution.

Read as a <Sarcasm> tag.

The constitution doesn't mean a damn thing. They would probably just use the commerce clause to justify it.

Hey if we didn't follow the constitution before, why should such a paragraph stop us?
