Bill overview
This bill, the American Samoa Statutory Nationality and Citizenship Act, aims to clarify and expand the rights of individuals born in American Samoa who are currently considered ‘nationals’ but not ‘citizens’ of the United States. It allows these individuals to apply for a U.S. passport identifying them as both a national and a citizen, and it modifies existing immigration law to accommodate this change. The bill seeks to strengthen the self-determination and rights of American Samoans within the U.S. legal framework.
