The commonwealth you are referring to is Puerto Rico. Inhabitants of Puerto Rico were granted U.S. citizenship through the Jones-Shafroth Act, which was enacted in 1917 during World War I. This act established U.S. citizenship for Puerto Ricans while also providing a local government structure. Puerto Rico remains a U.S. territory today, with its residents enjoying U.S. citizenship but lacking full voting representation in Congress.
Jones-Shafroth Act gave them U.S. citizenship .
Rephrase your question. There is no strictly Puerto Rican citizenship, Puerto Rican residents ARE US citizens. As fas as the presidency goes, Puerto Ricans are not allowed to vote for the President of the United States because they are not residents of a US State.
