For any odd number greater than 50 or even number greater than 100, it's possible to have a majority that is smaller than 51%. The definition of simple majority is "more than half," which is equivalent to "more than 50%," and other definitions are just confusing. Also, do you actually know of a state that has a citizenship requirement for those forming corporations under the state's laws? The two I checked did not. | |

| Feb 20, 2018 at 16:11 | comment | added | Dee | The law in my state (Florida) does not require an individual to be a U.S. citizen in order to register a corporation by themselves. Anyway (I apologize as this was not very clear from my question), so this means that if I wanted to register it as a non-profit just by myself, I would first have to become a U.S. citizen? | |
