Christopher Columbus went on his journey because he heard about the riches in India and wanted to find a quicker route to India (instead of walking which was dangerous because of robbers). When he tried he found San Salvador (off the coast of Florida) also part of the US.

Who was Puerto Ricos president on Columbus' second trip?

First of all, Puerto Rico has never had, and will never have, a president. Second of all, when Columbus came to Puerto Rico on his second trip, Puerto Rico was only inhabited by the "taino" Indians. Third of all, Columbus discovered the Americas with some other explorers, how can you possibly think there was a president at that time if he was one of the few people to reach the Americas after the indias settled there?
