No. It requires an act of the U.S. Congress.
There is no President of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is part of the US, so the President of the United States is the head of state for Puerto Rico, as for the rest of the US.
Puerto Rico has not become a State of the U. S.
Puerto Rico voted to become a state in the 2012 Referendum. However, it is now up to Congress to decide if Puerto Rico will become the 51st state.
The Puerto Ricans
The voters of Puerto Rico, both Houses of the US Congress and the signature of the President of the United States.
Puerto Rico is currently not a state, but a commonwealth within the US. In the 2012 elections, Puerto Rico held a referendum where they were given the choice to keep their current status, become independent, or become a state. Puerto Rico voted to become a state, but it is now up to Congress to decide. It is likely that it will not pass, however.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States of America. Its head of state is therefore the President of the United States.
It does not have a Prime Minister but is led by Governor Luis Fortuno.As a US Territory, matters of State are handled by the State Department. The internal affairs are taken care of by the Governor.
Well, Puerto Rico is a US territory... you make the math. Puerto Rico is not poor, but is not rich either. If Puerto Rico become a state of the Union will become the poorest state. But if we compare with other contries around PR, PR is way above them.
no
Puerto Rico does not have a president, it has a governor.
William McKinley was president of the United States when Puerto Rico became a US Territory. I suppose you could call him the first president of Puerto Rico. McKinley lived in the state of Ohio before he was president.
