While the time for TONA to be ratified was not limited by the Congress, so that it is technically still capable of being ratified by the states,(my italics) it has not been ratified by three-fourths of the states, and so has never become part of the Constitution.[1][2]
The Amendment text reads:
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.[3][4]
