The US today, however, still has 12 unincorporated territories (also known as possessions) and two commonwealths. The major possessions are American Samoa, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. All of these have a nonvoting representative in the US Congress. The major commonwealths are Puerto Rico and the Northern Marianas. Puerto Rico has a "resident commissioner" in the US Congress. Commonwealths have their own constitutions and greater autonomy than possessions, and Guam is currently in the process of moving from the status of unincorporated territory to commonwealth. The residents of all of these places (except American Samoa) are full US citizens, although they do not vote in national elections, they can run for US president and males still need to register for selective service (military draft). If they move to one of the 50 states, they can also register to vote in national elections. American Samoa residents are US nationals, but not citizens. They have fewer rights than citizens (they cannot vote or run for president) and fewer obligations (males are not subject to selective service). Most of these territories use the US dollar as their local currency.
