I get your point, tom, but the people of PR are not US citizens.  They are citizens of PR and have representation there.

John, I didn't question the "legality" of the Gov. choosing.  I just don't see why it would be considered the way to do it for more than a short term until the special election could be run.  In today's technological world that should take 6-8 weeks.

In the meantime, I believe honoring Ms Gifford's situation is leaving those people of Arizona without representation.
