Does Puerto Rico have congressmen

Answer 1

Puerto Rico doesnt have voting representatives in the house like the states. Puerto Rico has a Resident Comissioner who is a non-voting representative in the house for puerto ricans which is Pedro Pierluisi

Answer 2

If the question is asking if Puerto Rico has a representative in the US House of Representatives, the answer is No, and Yes.

Puerto Rico Does not have an elected representative in Congress. Puerto Rico has one delegate (called a State Commissioner with a 4 year term) in the US House of Representatives. This delegate has all the privileges and responsibilities as any other member of the House and can currently vote on legislation in committee, but the vote cannot be the deciding vote in a tie, therefore in reality it has no weight. The delegate cannot vote on legislation when it is before the whole House (committee of the whole).

Puerto Rico has a bicameral state legislature modeled on the federal government. This means that they have the Cámara de Representantes de Puerto Rico (House of Representatives of Puerto Rico) with 51 representatives (40 district representatives and 11 "at large" representatives)

Answer 3

No. The Senate consists of two elected officials from each of the fifty states.

Answer 4

No, we have a resident commisioner who works in COngress.

Answer 5

Puerto Rico has a "commissioner" in the House of Representatives in Congress. This commissioner can make speeches before the House and lobby for legislation, but he has no vote.

Answer 6

Puerto Rico does not have a U.S. Senator. It has one voting observer in the US House. However this vote cannot be a tie-breaker.

Answer 7

Its not :D
