For Kenneth D. McClintock, president of the Senate of Puerto Rico, the overriding issue is the political status of the island, which is now a U.S. territory. He would like to see Puerto Rico become the 51st state.
Congress has the ultimate say in the issue, but congressional leaders say they want the people of Puerto Rico to reach consensus on the their future.
McClintock backs legislation that would provide for a vote on whether to continue the current relationship with the U.S. or seek unspecified change, to be determined later”*
