This doesn't seem to comment on preexisting titles if I'm reading it correctly?


I'd read it as requiring the Pope to renounce his title if he wanted to be President of the US unless congress votes that it's OK.

But also the emolument clause is effectively unenforceable and the whole "insurgent" ruling basically made it impossible to challenge a presidential candidate. If Trump wants a 3rd term, for instance, I'm not sure what mechanism would prevent him at this point.
