    Just add the word "natural" in front of "person"...

    •  Changing the 14th... (0+ / 0-)

      is a huge feat.  Would it not be easier to enact Federal legislation or code, that simply defines a "person" as a "person", rather than defining a "person" as a "corporation".  

      Actually, I don't see anything in the 14th that suggests a corporation is a person; rather, there is "code", which is ratified by the Supreme Court, that suggests the same.  It appears to me that no Constitutional Amendment is required, and this is the most extreme action.  All we need is a Congress who once again recognizes that a person is a person, and a corporation is not a person, and the Court will simply agree.

        What was corruptly done in one of their opinions over a century ago, and they have notably failed to do so.

        Amending the Constitution leaves them no choice.

        •  What support is there for this... (0+ / 0-)

          and that is why I suggest that it is easier to amend Statutes or Code, than is it is to amend the Constitution.  Of course, even as it relates toward amending the Code, we need a sympathetic Congress.
