No one in any Territory, however can vote for President !.!.!.because we're not a state, we're a Territory, and when you vote for President you vote for a slate of Electors from your State equal to the number of Congressmen and Senators from your state!.!.!. we can vote for a "Delegate" to Congress, who cant vote on the floor ( this is a simplified story here; it's really WAY more complicated) because he,!. or in the VI's case, she is not a Congress(wo)man!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com the District of Columbia the U!.S!.
