Stacey Plaskett, a non-voting Democratic delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, stood after the first roll call vote to ask why delegates from the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia were not asked to vote for House speaker.
The article discusses the protest by the Virgin Islands Delegate, Stacey Plaskett, during a vote for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Plaskett, along with other non-voting delegates from U.S. territories, highlighted the lack of full representation for territories like the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The protest underscores a broader issue of how these territories are treated as second-class citizens within the U.S. political system, lacking voting rights in Congress despite being U.S. citizens or nationals. This situation reflects the ongoing debate about the status of U.S. territories, often described as a "territory and colonies problem," where residents do not have the same political rights as those in the states. The article points out the systemic disenfranchisement and calls for a reevaluation of how these territories are integrated into the American democratic process.
