Could someone from DC or the US territories run? And who from there could win?

[Former President tack50]

Basically what it says on the title. Could someone from DC or from one of the US territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, Mariana Islands), legally run for president?

And who would be a good candidate from a territory or DC, for each party? And would they have a shot at winning if they did run?

DC yes, the territories no.

Territories yes, except for American Samoa. Residents of the territories are natural-born citizens.

I doubt they'd gain any traction, however, since they are barely known outside their home territories. Puerto Rico being the only exception.

Yes, but what about the requirement of living in the U.S. for at least 14 years before the election? Territories (as opposed to the District) don't belong to the U.S. "proper", that is don't share the sovereignty, as opposed to states, DC and the tribal areas.

If you were born in Puerto Rico, or Guam, or the Virgin Islands, you're eligible to be President, but you need to meet residency requirements.

While she was born in American Samoa, Tulsi Gabbard's father was a citizen, so that's not a problem for her.

I believe the 14 year requirement would be met if you lived in Puerto Rico, Guam, USVI, and the pthers besides American Samoa.

It was either Romney or McCain (I think Romney) who considered making the Governor of PR at the time his Vice President.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Given the precedent of the Insular Cases, I'd say that the residency requirement would only be met in the United States themselves and the incorporated territory thereof, which for now is only D.C. and Palmyra Atoll.

Cory Booker was born in DC, though I have no idea about his parents.
