I don't think this should be in this category. That said, her logic is wrong. The Nobel Peace Prize could be construed as a present, but it was not granted by any king, prince or foreign state, but by a committee, nor is it a title of nobility.

Your attempt to appear erudite and wise by quoting the US Constitution backfired by your idiotic assumption that the Nobel Prize is an equivalent to a Noble title.

Heidi Elizabeth Heglar is probably a stand-up comic. You've got to admit that was LOL funny.
Roosevelt's decision was personal not Constitutional. And, considering the travel time involved during his day, I'd say it was merited.

Nobel committee isn't a different country or nobility. Do your research.

The Nobel Prize committee is a private organization that was established by the inventor of dynamite.

So all that has to be done is get the approval of the US Congress and everything is all set.

I think Newsweek said it best:
"Only in America could winning a Nobel prize be a source of shame."

> from any king, prince, or foreign state.
The Norwegian Nobel Commitee, acting under the Norwegian Parrliament, chooses the winner. The money, however, was Alfred Nobel's, who was a private citizen who could do whatever the hell he wanted with his money.

I believe Heidi is legally required to go back to the 3rd grade.
Not that she cares about facts.

"If I'm reading and understanding it correctly ..."
You're not. (Big surprise)
The Nobel Prize Committee is a private organization; it is neither a king, a prince, nor a foreign state.
BTW, T. Roosevelt was a sitting president when he accepted the Nobel prize, as was Woodrow Wilson.
Got any more asshattery you need corrected?

This is actually not a frivolous position, though I think it's incorrect.
A few idiots might be confused, thinking that "Nobel" and "Noble" are the same thing, but this poster doesn't seem to think so.
The argument is that the cash award that comes with the Nobel Prize is an "emolument" (payment). They also argue that the Nobel Committee, being composed in part of members of the Parliament in Norway, is sufficient to make it a gift from a foreign state.
Again, I don't agree with it, but the argument isn't as absurd as some make it out to be.

Nobody cares about the constitution these days, except to use it as toilet wipes.
