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.

What does the Constitution say about the size of the House of Representatives?
Best answer is to read the document, but basically the House shall not exceed 435 voting members (there are nonvoting members such as Guam, Puerto Rico, etc....). Representatives are from districts which are redrawn every 10 years after the Census (which is also mandated by the Constitution). States with greater populations such as California, thus have more representatives. The concept is great but in actuality Gerrymandering (the drawing of districts to favor the incumbent or the party in power) is rampant.
