The Title of Nobility Clause:
Quote: The Title of Nobility Clause is a provision in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution, that prohibits the federal government from granting titles of nobility, and restricts members of the government from receiving gifts, emoluments, offices or titles from foreign states and monarchies without the consent of the United States Congress.
At the very least, he'd have to get Congress' permission (as well as winning the election in the first place).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Wouldn't that be funny if he was able to give himself a gift. From PM to President, "Thanks for the wonderful time last night."

I've always thought that national-level politicians spent most of their time stroking themselves heavily, so... yes.

No, that one involved radiation - LOTS of radiation. And a squirrel.

Prime President of the United Commonwealth? The PPotUC?
Nah, you are just up to your old game: Export everyone you don't want to have around to the colonies. That said, do you see any way you could export our Angie[^] as well and let her run against him? Nothing much would change for the Americans, but both England and the whole rest of Europe may have a chance.

Haven't England and Germany fought often enough on European soil?

At land, in the water and in the air. Far too often. If the price for not repeating that is the EU, then that alone is worth it.

So I think you should all revolt and sever ties with the US, like with all of Europe!
If you promise to play nice, we might even let you be a protectoratre, like Puerto Rico.

Who's yet to open the book on this?
This is one such topics where the whole world starts doing something about, but I keep it safe in my todo list.
Just a quick question from the dummies perspective.
1. Will functional programming make all the OOAD concepts obsolete or it can get along well with OOAD?
2. What's your take? You like it?

for mine it's something everyone talks about as the new sliced bread,
and later all but disappears into some niche, like lisp or prolog, or even forth.

Hey, forth had its place  . I had gainful employment for over a year working in forth for the Anchorage AK International airport on their vehicle gate security systems. Forth did what it was originally designed for (device and instrument control) reasonably well.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
