          They could also vote in the state where they lived before joining the military.

            If you don't have a birth certificate or other identification, and if you live abroad, and if you don't pay bills, then you might be a Somali pirate.

            What are you doing going abroad without a passport?

            Not that I know of. It's really not that big of a deal for most people, and those people who do have trouble would probably find an attorney to help handle it. Lawyers don't ever put the word small before the word fee.

                5. How often do children have PT in middle and high school? I used to have two PT classes per week, or rather 1 double-length class lasting 90 minutes plus break.
                6. What is recess in a school context?

                  Is PT gym class? That depends 100% on your school district's policy. I had gym every other day in elementary school, and every day in middle school, and then every other day again in high school for the first two years. Juniors and Seniors didn't have to take gym, so I stopped.

                  Recess is something most kids get in elementary school. It's a short break, usually after lunch, where they let you play outside (or inside if the weather is bad). Most elementary schools have a jungle gym and swingsets and a playground.

                      Puerto Rican's can't vote. Expats can't vote either. Being a US citizen doesn't entitle you to vote. Being a resident of one of the 50 states (or DC following an amendment, can't remember which, 23rd?) does.
                      That post is dumb. Puerto Ricans do vote though they don't have a voting rep in Congress. Also expats also are allowed to vote with polling stations set up in over seas locations with large expat communities. In 2008 they had polling stations in London and, of course, there are always absentee ballots.

                        We had it five days a week for one hour per day. In 11th and 12th grade it became an elective but it was mandatory from 7th to 10th grade. Recess was mostly a 1st-6th grade thing for younger students and you'd get one 20 minute break ~10am and then a 40 minute break at noon. The idea was the little kids have lots of energy so letting them run around and play for a few minutes helped them concentrate better in class while the other break was for lunch but if you hurried you could also play some games with other students.

                          Puerto Ricans do not vote for president. They can vote for offices in Puerto Rico.

                          • Last I heard they do vote but don't get any electoral votes so it doesn't really matter though they're votes are added to the official vote totals. As we all remember in 2000 though a candidate can win the popular vote yet lose the electoral vote so the popular vote is just a dog and pony show.

                              OERDIN does it yet again:

                              Q: Why does Puerto Rico participate in the presidential primary and not the general election? A: The United States Constitution grants voting privileges in the general election to the states and the District of Columbia only, not to U.S. territories. FULL ANSWER With 55 pledged delegates at stake, residents of Puerto Rico will head to their local election polls June 1 and cast ballots in the Democratic presidential primary.


                              With 55 pledged delegates at stake, residents of Puerto Rico will head to their local election polls June 1 and cast ballots in the Democratic presidential primary. But for most of Puerto Rico's estimated 3.9 million residents, that’s where their presidential voting activity will end.

                              Unless they have official residency in a U.S. state or the District of Columbia, people living in Puerto Rico, and all other U.S. territories, are not permitted to vote in the general election in November.

                              • Even residents of DC couldn't vote until they added an amendment. Congress is actually fully within its rights to totally disenfranchise Puerto Rico and DC (except for DC's presidential vote), eliminate their democratically-elected government and have them be run by unelected bureaucrats. Obviously we'd never do that, but it is possible under the constitution.
