Help Me Anons! The Organic Act of 1871 (see link) from my reading, does not contain the words "United States Corporation.' The Act is shady AF, but where can I find the authority that Congress created a "Corporation of the United States" or "the United States Corporation." Thanks

Would be great if legal anons could provide some insight.
Well that's the thing. I am a 20-year attorney. And I'm pretty good! And so I started reading the actual law. And it isn't there.
But -
• The law calls for a governor of DC to be appointed by the President ...and that's kind of weird. The law hasn't been repealed as far as I can tell but I can tell you the internet appears to be unaware of who these governors have been.
• The Civil War bankrupted the United States and there was a contemporaneous Treaty with Great Britain in 1871. All wars being bankers' wars leads me to believe there is something afoot here.
• The Organic Act of 1801 created DC. It existed. It was fine. So why was this one of 1871 needed?
• While it is expected that municipalities be incorporated ,they are all incorporated under state law. The federal government was given no power to create legal fictions.
• But not only legal fictions, the federal government has no authority to create its own state - which is exactly what the Organic Act of 1871 does to DC. It makes it into a state, albeit with difference between actual states.
The fact that your username is hugefreedomboner and you’re a 20+ year attorney somehow gives me hope for this country
