Can a Puerto Rican be president? Justice Breyer speculates - CBS News

so i am guessing that a Puerto Rican would have to be established in one of the 50 states to be able to do so because the island would not be able to vote for him
Puerto Ricans are US citizens? I didn't know this. I don't know much about Puerto Rico itself.

Seems there are other islands with similar status, including Northern Mariana Islands. I had no idea.
