Citizenship is given by birth, not fabricated on paper™

The Fourteenth Amendment, read plainly. Citizenship isn't earned and it isn't bought — it is given, by the Constitution, to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" (14th Amendment, § 1). It goes to the born. A corporation was never born and never naturalized; it was chartered — fabricated on paper. And here's the honest sharpening (0g): whatever "citizenship" a corporation carries is a narrow procedural fiction — a state of incorporation, used only to decide which court hears a case — never the birthright kind the Constitution confers on a person. So the corporation isn't a lesser citizen; it is not a citizen at all — a lie on paper wearing the word. Consent is given, citizenship is given, both only to the living; the ghost gets neither. Kin: corporations aren't real, necromancy isn't real, can't breed, can't bleed, can't die, Meta the Cite (the headnote that faked the personhood). (His coin — the 14th Amendment text verified; machine's read, refine to his.)
