But while islanders are legal residents of the islands, they cannot vote in US Presidential elections, as they have no electors. There would seem to be no legal barrier, however, to one running for President.
Article II, section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

What is the difference in thinking between a virgin and a non-virgin boy?
It really depends on the person.
But in my experience as a guy, when you haven't had sex before it seems glorified, like it's tenfold whatever masterbating is like. It's hard to imagine what it's like, because well, you've never done it before.
Now someone who's had the experience doesn't really feel that way. They've experienced it, and they thought it was really good or just "ok".
They still like masterbating, because sex with a girl is a "different" experience complete with it's own advantages and drawbacks. In fact masterbating feels better, because it goes fast and you climax easily - fast food.
But sex is different, it is emotional, it's warm, it's about the rythm and the motion and the closeness, it's about being one with her, being inside her. It has it's climax, but the biggest thing about it is the pleasure you get while doing it. And when you're masterbating it can be hard to notice those good feelings, it's fleeting really.
With masterbating it's like "Mmm, Bang,Ahh", while with sex it's like "Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Bang, Ahh, Ahh"
