American Samoa Statutory Nationality and Citizenship Act

This bill changes federal law on passports for people who are U.S. nationals but not U.S. citizens, such as people born in American Samoa. Such a person could apply to the Secretary of State for a passport and, after proving their status, would receive a passport identifying them as a national but not a citizen. If the person lives in a State or a covered territory and makes a written, signed request in the application, they would instead receive a passport identifying them as both a national and a citizen. The bill also renames the related section of the Immigration and Nationality Act and repeals Section 325 of that Act.
