District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 ~ 150 years ago in many recent Trump Comms

 

"Conspiracy theories

The Act is the basis of several claims held by the sovereign citizen movement. According to these, the Act made the District, and consequently the whole United States, into a business corporation.[12]

 

These claims stem from the term municipal corporation used in the Act.[13][14] There are many kinds of corporations; a corporation is any group authorized to legally act as a single entity; in this case, an incorporated, organized district of the United States. Most U.S. cities and counties are municipal corporations.

 

This was later used by QAnon supporters to falsely claim that former president Donald Trump would be sworn in as the 19th president of the original United States on March 4, 2021.[15] This date corresponds to the original presidential inauguration date because they claim the Twentieth Amendment is invalid as it was not passed by the original United States.

 

Why Donald Trump would have any claim to the presidency even under this theory was unclear. On January 20, 2021, Joseph R. Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president, without incident."
