45. So can a Corporation become President of the United States?

Edited on Sun Nov-15-09 01:51 PM by demwing

If not, why not? If Corporations are people, then they should be allowed to run for and hold the office, as long as they meet all other requirements - natural born, 35 years of age, 14 years residency.

What of "Natural Born"? technically, if the founding board members of a Corporation were American citizens at the time of the charter, the Corporation was founded in the US, has maintained its charter for 35 years, and has not centered its headquarters off shore within the last 14 years, that Corporation, by your account, would be eligible for the POTUS.
