The American Samoa Senate is the upper house of the American Samoa Fono. The Senate, like the lower House of Representatives, is a nonpartisan body. It is composed of 18 senators, serving a four-year term.
The first name for the upper house of the legislature was Atoa o Aliʻi (“Assembly of Paramount Aliʻis”) when established in 1948. It was replaced with the current American Samoa Senate in 1953.[1]
