Is it Constitutional for Obama to Receive Nobel Peace Prize
Prize Comes from Committee Set Up by Norwegian Government
Article I, Section 8.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

There were 205 names submitted for this year's prize, the highest number in the award's history. The winner is selected by a committee of five people elected by the Norwegian parliamnet. The prizes for literature, chemistry, medicine and physics, are picked by the Stockholm-based Nobel Foundation.
So what the above is indicating is: Since the Norwegian Parliament has established the committee by election the award is coming actually from the Sovereign State of Norway and not from the Nobel Prize Committee.
Any "present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" then must be approved by Congress first in order for the President of the United States to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is simple basic and to the point. Now let's make sure that Congress does indeed pass a resolution which specifically states that President Obama is able to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He cannot accept the Nobel Peace Prize without first receiving permission from Congress.
On the other hand, I do not understand why someone would be receiving a Peace Prize for 11 days in office. This actually sounds like a payoff to me.
All of the other recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize have been Democrats. Even when President Reagan created the greatest Peace in the world by "tear down this wall" between the two Germanies no Peace Prize was forthcoming.
Does a President really need to receive the embellishments of a foreign country in order to establish justice for the United states. I do not think so. So perhaps the Nobel Peace Prize is just a cover to receive a payoff and a bribe.
You be the judge.
