How do you know if a corporation is American or a foreign national? [View all]

is there a birth certificate? if so, how do you know if they renounce their american citizenship in pursuit of tax savings in other countries?

If the major stock/bond holders are foreigners, does it matter where the company is incorporated?
What if the CEO is not an American?
What if the BODs are not Americans?

How exactly do you keep foreign money/foreign influence out of elections when corporate money's can be influenced by non-American interests?
