WY corporation folks could not answer my question and I could not find any helpful info as for this. Can a minor/infant be the CEO or a Director of a corporation?

And contrary to the opinion of SJ... if the corporation articles or bylaws authorize that minor to sign on behalf of the corporation, he CAN "sign anything or be responsible for anything" done in his 'official duties'.
