There is no authority granted by the constitution that gives power to the US to grant any title of nobility to anyone.
Article 1 section 9 states... 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.

∙ 10y agoNo one can. There are no titles of nobility sanctioned by the US Government.
It is possible for the Head of a Royal/Noble House who holds sovereignty- by "fons honorum" (source of honors) to confer a title respectively under their jurisdiction (whatever or wherever that might be possibly mediatized) in spite of where they live reside or citizenship status. This could be done by a "letters patent" by the leader of a monarchal type of government, or by a Royal Charter/Deed, a legal instrument that conveys a right of some kind of property, real estate, trust or intellectual. There are examples of this in history.
"There is not in the constitution any general prohibition against any citizen whomsoever, whether in public or private life, accepting any foreign title of nobility."

How do you become a baroness?
These days, there are not that many of them any more. It is usually a hereditary title (you have to be born into it); a man is a baron, while a woman is a baroness. The title itself goes back to the days of feudalism. Today, it is considered a lower-level of nobility, ranking below a viscount and countess in countries that still have such titles. There are some people who have purchased an honorary version of this title, but they are not considered members of the nobility.

Why are titles of nobility outlawed by the Constitution?
Nothing outlawed it. It only says that the US Congress can't grant titles of Nobility. "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." They can grant land and stuff, but they can't grant you that. There is the Magical "Kingdom", KY Kingdom, and all kinds of stuff here. There is a Statue of King Louis the 16th in Louisville. NATO has a symbol of King Philip on it and a State's star next to it representing the Monarchy of a State. Ever heard, "The King's Word is Law," that is because Royalty has the laws crammed down their throats since the day they're born. It is a misconception. The Louisiana Purchase was named after King Louis the 16th, and Napoleon lost you know? He was drugged to death on an island. It doesn't say of a foreign state it says or a foreign state. Whatever. (Someone else's answer) Because the Founding Fathers wanted this to be a nation "of the people, by the people and for the people" devoid of the trapping of Monarchy.

Has a US marine ever been knighted by the queen?
The US Constitution forbids it: Article I, Section 9, Clause 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. So unless Congress consented, a US Marine, who holds "office" as a commissioned officer in the US Marine Corps through Presidential Appointment, is not able to "accept" the title of knight from any foreign state, while on active duty. "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."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.
