  1. No, Puerto Rican voters would have to approve that their government request Statehood and the US Congress would then have to take action on that request.


  2. Only if OBAMA was the President he would just say a whole bunch of nice things and everybody would be yes men.

  3. Under the Constitution new states are admitted by Congress.  The president has nothing to do with admitting states.

  4. no, there should be a vote in puerto rico.

  5. No...read the Constitution!

  6. No, this is America not Russia. Peace

  7. No, it would require a vote by Puerto Ricans requesting statehood and then congressional approval. It ain't happening though because there's a great deal of opposition to statehood in Puerto Rico.
