Perhaps you forgot to read my post to which your responded. Or else, can you describe in what way a Corporation is, in fact, a citizen of the United States?
My point is that, from a very literal standpoint, since they didn't say "you must be a person that ... to be a Representative", there's no actual restriction saying that only people may be Representatives. It just says that certain restrictions apply to people who wish to be representatives. If you're not a person, then " No Person shall be a Representative who ..." doesn't restrict you.
It's splitting hairs to the max, and I'm sure a court would find some way around it if it ever got there.
Oh, we'll be having that fight, but it won't be over corporations. It'll be over sentient programs.
Also, is that 25 years objective or 25 years subjective, in the case of an AI that grows up faster than real time? (To the extent that that even has meaning outside of a direct human brain simulation.)
