The Organic Act of Guam clearly states that Guam does not have the right to become a state -- it is organized but *unincorporated*, unlike the former territories of the Dakotas etc. Furthermore, the Organic Act of Guam was not written by the people of Guam, but rather by the Department of the Interior (located 9,000 miles away), with no input from the local people.

There are only three requirements to be the US president<br /><br />1) at least 35 years old<br /><br />2) a Natural Born Citizen of the US (more on this below)<br /><br />3) lived the past 14 years in the "United States"<br /><br />re point #2) -- Barry Goldwater ran for president in the 1964 elections even though he was born in the Territory of Arizona prior to statehood. Some people asked whether that violated the natural born provision, but the courts decided that it did not. <br /><br />Also John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone to US citizen parents. Of course the Canal Zone never became a state. There was a specific Congressional inquiry to determine if he was eligible as a natural born citizen, and they decided it was so.<br /><br />Finally, there is some semi-serious talk about Luis Fortuno, the current governor of Puerto Rico, running for president in 2012. His situation is most like the one you describe: born to US citizen parents in the territory of Puerto Rico. The analysis so far has been that he may be eligible, but that if he had lived in the 50 states for the past 14 years that he would definitely be eligible. Many analysts believe that even that residency requirement of 14 years in the United States may be included in residence in the terriories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6179272853282069297.post-20421592212321641122010-01-06T20:07:01.116-08:002010-01-06T20:07:01.116-08:00Yeah!
