To restore the ability of the people of American Samoa to approve amendments to the territorial constitution based on majority rule in a democratic act of self-determination, as authorized pursuant to an Act of Congress delegating administration of Federal territorial law in the territory to the President, and to the Secretary of the Interior under Executive Order 10264, dated June 29, 1951, under which the Constitution of American Samoa was approved and may be amended without requirement for further congressional action, subject to the authority of Congress under the Territorial Clause in article IV, section 3, clause 2 of the United States Constitution.

HR 6062 repeals a provision requiring a two-thirds vote for American Samoans to approve constitutional amendments, restoring the ability for the territory's residents to vote on such changes using simple majority rule. This directly affects American Samoan citizens, who would now need only a majority vote (instead of a two-thirds vote) to approve constitutional amendments. The bill removes a restriction established by Public Law 98-213, aligning with historical authority under Executive Order 10264 (1951) that previously allowed constitutional amendments without congressional approval. The change aims to strengthen self-governance in American Samoa through democratic voting processes.
