US Embasssy in Sweden at its social media
Congratulations, Colonel Ryan Sweeney, on receiving the prestigious Royal Order of the Sword, the first since 1974, for bridging our nations in defense & camaraderie. Your recognition by is well-deserved!

At the photos we see also Pål Jonson, the Minister for Defence.
My understanding is that Colonel Sweeney, as an active-duty US military officer, holds an "office of profit or trust" under the United States. Does that mean that, in order to accept the Royal Order of the Sword from the King of Sweden, he needs the consent of the US Congress under Section 9(8) of constitution of the United States ?
Does anybody know the answer?
