American Samoa is the only unincorporated territory of the United States whose inhabitants are not American citizens at birth.
Instead, those born in the cluster of islands are granted “U.S. national” status, meaning they can’t vote for U.S. president, run for office outside American Samoa or apply for certain jobs.
