An expert witness in Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee impeachment made a joke about 13-year-old Barron Trump’s name and drew a forceful rebuttal from the Trump campaign, among others.
“Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” said Pamela Karlan, a professor at Stanford Law School, who was called up by the House Judiciary Committee’s Democratic majority. “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron.”
