How is the territorty of Puerto Rico represented in congress?
Puerto Rico is represented by one elected delegate (Resident Commissioner) in the House of Representatives. This delegate has a vote in committees but at the present time the delegate does not have a vote in the committee of the whole (when the House takes a vote to pass a bill). Even when the delegates had the vote in the Committee of the whole, their vote could not be the deciding vote therefore the vote was ceremonial and meaningless. The delegate can introduce legislation and lobby and serves a 4 year term.
