Article 1 Section 9 of the Constitution: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

The restriction on Bill of Attainder was to prevent Congress from specifically singling out a group or an individual.

“The Democratic bill brought to the floor today is constitutionally questionable,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R., Ind.). I would give it a stronger wording. It is unconstitutional. I do not have a dog in the fight with AIG except for my tax money, but this administration is running rough shod over the constitution. Sir Teddy for instance cannot have that title under the constitution, and so on.

He can’t even be referred to as “Sir” under British law. I’m not sure, but he might be able to use KBE after his name.
