According to the Supremes, the corporation would be a person - and they'd have valid Articles of Incorporation issued by one of the US states

I'd love to see a Freepers head explode over that one

1. No
They would own a corporation, not be one. People could legally hire that corporation to do work for them, but that corporation couldn't pay its owner a wage legally (only dividends off the profits).

3. Did the ruling specify that only American Corps have
personhood? Didn't Obama say that the ruling could mean that foreign Corps would influence our election system? I don't know, just asking. But if it didn't stress 'American Corps only', then I don't see why someone couldn't incorporate and then claim the rights of other Corps

2. What is an "illegal"?
I wonder.
