Is Guam apart of the US?

Answer 1

No, Guam is an organized unincorporated territory of the US. This means the US Congress has no intention of allowing it to become a state. The people have limited self government, meaning they can elect a governor and local legislators for a unicameral legislature, but cannot vote for US president and only have a non-voting delegate to the US House of Representative.

We are also confined by the Jones Act, which limits only US-flagged ships to enter the island's ports and do business, in the strictest interpretation. The only "constitution" the people have is one that was drawn up by the US Naval Administration in 1950 known as the Organic Act.
