Answer:

Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives (called either delegates or resident commissioner, in the case of Puerto Rico) are representatives of their territory in the House of Representatives, who do not have a right to vote on proposed legislation in the full House but nevertheless have floor privileges and are able to participate in certain other House functions. Non-voting members may vote in a House committee of which they are a member and introduce legislation.[1][2] There are currently six non-voting members: a delegate representing the District of Columbia, a resident commissioner representing Puerto Rico, and one delegate for each of the other four permanently inhabited US territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. A seventh delegate, representing the Cherokee Nation, has been formally proposed but not yet seated, while an eighth, representing the Choctaw Nation, is named in a treaty but has neither been proposed nor seated. As with voting members, non-voting delegates are elected every two years, and the resident commissioner of Puerto Rico is elected every four years.

according to president johnson, what would ensure the runification of the United States during the reconstruction period?
Inessa [10]

After the US Civil War, president Lincoln started the process of reunification of the country. This is known as the Reconstruction era, when former rebellious Southern States were integrated back into the Union.

But, in 1865, president Lincoln was assassinated, and his vice president Andrew Johnson took power and drove the country into the reunification. Johnson wanted to reunite the country as quickly as possible, he pardoned the Southerners in a large numbers, and provided these states with a clear path to readmission.

He returned them their property, while the former slaves were excluded, and in return, he asked that they affirm the support of the United States Constitution. But he rejected the proposal that the federal government should provide the voting rights for freed slaves.

By 1866, he announced the end of Reconstruction.
