Can Puerto Ricans vote for the President of the UNited States?

In: US Constitution, Puerto Rico, US Government [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, technically speaking Puerto Rico is a territorial commonwealth of the United States meaning that it is part of the U.S. but does not share the same rights as the 50 contiguous states or the District of Columbia including the right to vote for President and Vice President. Puerto Rico does vote for a Commissioner in the U.S. House of Representatives who by all aspects is a U.S. Congressman/woman who can serve on Congressional Committees but CANNOT vote on legislation that is introduced for a vote within the House.
