A U.S. territory is a partially self-governing piece of land under the authority of the U.S. government. U.S. territories are not states, but they do have representation in Congress. Each territory is allowed to send a delegate to the House of Representatives. These representatives may participate in debates, sponsor legislation, and vote in committees, but they cannot participate in the formal votes of the House. The people who live in American Samoa are considered U.S. nationals; the people in the other four territories are U.S. citizens. Citizens of the territories can vote in primary election for president, but they cannot vote in the general elections for president.
