36 U.S.C. § 190107 — Restrictions

(a) Profit. The corporation may not run a for-profit business. (b) Stock. The corporation may not issue stock. (c) Political Activities. The corporation, and its officers and members acting on its behalf, may not give money to, support, or help a political party or a candidate for public office. (d) Distribution of Income or Assets. The corporation's income or assets may not go to benefit an officer or member. The only exception is when the corporation dissolves or finally liquidates — then assets may be distributed. (e) Loans. The corporation may not loan or advance money to an officer or to a member of its national executive committee. If executive committee members vote for or agree to such a loan, and officers take part in making it, all of them are personally on the hook — "jointly and severally liable" means each one can be made to repay the whole amount — until the loan is paid back.
