Pedro Pierluisi's term as governor of Puerto Rico is ruled unconstitutional, clearing the way for Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez to become the next governor of Puerto Rico.
Pedro Pierluisi's term as governor of Puerto Rico has been ruled unconstitutional, clearing the way for Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez to become the next governor of Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico was thrown into disarray after leaked text messages allegedly showed former Gov. Ricardo Rossello and his staff making homophobic, misogynistic and sexist comments against opponents and critics, as well as mocking victims of 2017's Hurricane Maria. Widespread protests followed, prompting the governor to initially say he'd step down after his term in 2020, before resigning almost immediately.
The interpretation of the succession law was the grounds by which Pierluisi became governor on Aug. 2 after being appointed by Rossello.
