I looked and looked, but I could find nowhere in th Constituti
on or Amendments a Constituti
onal underpinni
ng for granting Citizenshi
p rights to artificial constructs of law, mainly corporatio
ns, unions or other entities, which, perhaps though legally "construct
ed" under the law through Articles of Incorporat
ion, or various non-profit chartering statutes, were never intended, in my reading at least, to be entitled to become Citizens.
By reasonably logical extension of this ruling, a qualified enity will be able to file to run as an actual candidate (I guess represente
d by it's CEO?) in elections, if it has met the other eligibilit
y considerat
ions. Question: Who determines the entity's actual "vote?" The CEO by himself? A separate Shareholde
r's majority vote? The Board of Directors? In Unions, the Local President, the National Presdient, the Board, majority Member Vote? In 501c3's (non-profi
t), the Director, the Board, others? In foundation
s, the President, the largest Donor over 50%?
Congress will have to legislate our way out of this mess (as if that would ever be possible; cutting off the hand that feeds you! Imagine)!
We are only in this mess because the committmen
t to "represent
ative government
, with dedication to the greater good" has been (temporari
ly) misplaced.
Here's hoping.
Vote!
