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

Maybe it's derived from Chapter LXII:
I can see how that could be seen that way, but all it says is that they are incorporating DC as a MUNICIPALITY, under the laws and constitution of the US.
Indeed. Op asked for United States corporation, and I tried to provide the closest thing I could find in the source. Whether the legalese around this makes it true or not is a different matter.
I will say at its base the government will leave as much wiggle room and interpretation in what they write with a purpose. That being said it leaves interpretation for all sides to guess and all the room for them to maneuver. The federal courts seem to default often to the govt.
If "the federal government has no authority to create its own state" and "it is expected that municipalities be incorporated ,they are all incorporated under state law" and DC houses the seat of the federal government could they have loop holed DC not being a state but a bastard version that they then incorporated with the fed govt being a part of DC?
What I took from that extract was that the 'corporation' was mentioned as being separate from the 'united states'.
So, whilst it can act on behalf of the states, it isn't (in it's own right) a sovereign body.
