Question: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is in the national interest that all citizens, 
        including active-duty service members, be allowed to vote in 
        Federal elections.
            (2) Since 1977, active-duty service members serving 
        overseas or on the United States mainland have been excluded 
        from fully participating and voting in both general and runoff 
        Federal elections in American Samoa due to several factors, 
        including local law that requires active duty military members 
        to register in person, limited air and mail service between the 
        U.S. mainland and American Samoa, and delays in the preparation 
        of new ballots in the case of runoff elections.
            (3) American Samoa law requiring uniformed service voters 
        to register to vote in person is contrary to the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff et 
        seq.).
            (4) The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 
        has been in effect for over 15 years, and American Samoa has 
        not addressed this discrepancy between Federal and territorial 
        law, despite notice that the discrepancy exists.
            (5) It is necessary to take additional action to ensure 
        that the votes of uniformed voters are counted in Federal 
        elections conducted in American Samoa and that active duty 
        service members (including reservists called to active duty) do 
        not need to appear in person to register to vote.
            (6) It is necessary to state that the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa 
        law and American Samoa must comply with this Federal law.
            (7) It is also in the national interest that, to the extent 
        possible, Members of the United States House of Representatives 
        and non-voting Delegates be elected in the first week of 
        November in even-numbered years.
            (8) Since 1980, when the first election for the 
        Congressional Delegate from American Samoa was held, there have 
        been several general elections at which there was no final 
        resolution of who was elected as the Delegate for the next 
        Congress, and run-off elections were required.
            (9) When the outcome of the Delegate election is not 
        resolved until a runoff election is held, a final determination 
        of who the Delegate will be is not made known until late 
        November.
            (10) A delayed outcome may place a newly elected Delegate 
        in a more junior position to other Members of Congress elected 
        on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in an 
        election year.
            (11) When more than 2 candidates file to run for election 
        for the office of Delegate, holding a primary election to 
        reduce the number of candidates to 2 will greatly increase the 
        likelihood that the general election will produce a candidate 
        who receives a majority of the votes cast.

SEC. 2. PRIMARY ELECTION REQUIRED.

    Section 2(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1732(a)) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(a)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
    ``(2) In any general election year when 3 or more eligible 
individuals file by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the 
office of Delegate, a primary election shall be held on the first 
Tuesday of August of that general election year. If the primary 
election results in 1 candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then that candidate shall be the only candidate on the 
ballot for the general election for Delegate that year. If the primary 
election results in no candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then the 2 candidates receiving the most votes cast shall 
be on the ballot for the general election year. If there is a tie for 
the 2 candidates receiving the most votes, the names of the 2 
candidates shall be listed on the ballot for that general election 
year.
    ``(3) Candidates for the office of Delegate to the United States 
House of Representatives must file their candidacy not later than the 
first Tuesday of July each year that a general election referred to in 
paragraph (1) is scheduled to be held.''.

SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

    Section 4 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1734), is amended by inserting 
``in a general Federal election'' after ``ties between candidates''.

SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect on January 1, 
2003.

Answer: Declares that it is necessary to state that the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa law and American Samoa must comply with it.Requires a primary election to be held in American Samoa on the first Tuesday of August of any general election year when three or more eligible individuals have filed by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the office of Delegate representing American Samoa in the U.S. House of Representatives.

        reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence on the record 
        considered as a whole, shall be conclusive;
            ``(5) whenever any petitioner, who seeks review of an order 
        under this section, claims to be a national of the United 
        States and makes a showing that his claim is not frivolous, the 
        court shall (A) pass upon the issues presented when it appears 
        from the pleadings and affidavits filed by the parties that no 
        genuine issue of material fact is presented; or (B) where a 
        genuine issue of material fact as to the petitioner's 
        nationality is presented, transfer the proceedings to a United 
        States district court for the district where the petitioner has 
        his residence for hearing de novo of the nationality claim and 
        determination as if such proceedings were originally initiated 
        in the district court under the provisions of section 2201 of 
        title 28, United States Code. Any such petitioner shall not be 
        entitled to have such issue determined under section 360(a) of 
        this Act or otherwise;
            ``(6) whenever a petitioner seeks review of an order under 
        this section, any review sought with respect to a motion to 
        reopen or reconsider such an order shall be consolidated with 
        the review of the order;
            ``(7) if the validity of a removal order has not been 
        judicially determined, its validity may be challenged in a 
        criminal proceeding against the alien for violation of 
        subsection (a) or (b) of section 243 of this Act only by 
        separate motion for judicial review before trial. Such motion 
        shall be determined by the court without a jury and before the 
        trial of the general issue. Whenever a claim to United States 
        nationality is made in such motion, and in the opinion of the 
        court, a genuine issue of material fact as to the alien's 
        nationality is presented, the court shall accord him a hearing 
        de novo on the nationality claim and determine that issue as if 
        proceedings had been initiated under the provisions of section 
        2201 of title 28, United States Code. Any such alien shall not 
        be entitled to have such issue determined under section 360(a) 
        of this Act or otherwise. If no such hearing de novo as to 
        nationality is conducted, the determination shall be made 
        solely upon the administrative record upon which the removal 
        order is based and the Attorney General's findings of fact, if 
        supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence on 
        the record considered as a whole, shall be conclusive. If the 
        removal order is held invalid, the court shall dismiss the 
        indictment and the United States shall have the right to appeal 
        to the court of appeals within 30 days. The procedure on such 
        appeals shall be as provided in the Federal rules of criminal 
        procedure. No petition for review under this section may be 
        filed by any alien during the pendency of a criminal proceeding 
        against such alien for violation of subsection (a) or (b) of 
        section 243 of this Act;
            ``(8) nothing in this section shall be construed to require 
        the Attorney General to defer removal of an alien after the 
        issuance of a removal order because of the right of judicial 
        review of the order granted by this section, or to relieve any 
        alien from compliance with subsections (a) and (b) of section 
        243 of this Act. Nothing contained in this section shall be 
        construed to preclude the Attorney General from detaining or 
        continuing to detain an alien or from taking the alien into 
        custody pursuant to section 241 of this Act at any time after 
        the issuance of a removal order;
            ``(9) it shall not be necessary to print the record or any 
        part thereof, or the briefs, and the court shall review the 
        proceedings on a typewritten record and on typewritten briefs; 
        and
            ``(10) any alien held in custody pursuant to an order of 
        removal may obtain judicial review thereof by habeas corpus 
        proceedings.
    ``(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, any alien 
against whom a final order of removal has been made heretofore or 
hereafter under the provisions of section 235 of this Act or comparable 
provisions of any prior Act may obtain judicial review of such order by 
habeas corpus proceedings and not otherwise.
    ``(c) An order of removal shall not be reviewed by any court if the 
alien has not exhausted the administrative remedies available to the 
alien as of right under the immigration laws and regulations or if the 
alien has departed from the United States after the issuance of the 
order. Every petition for review or for habeas corpus shall state 
whether the validity of the order has been upheld in any prior judicial 
proceeding, and, if so, the nature and date thereof, and the court in 
which such proceeding took place. No petition for review or for habeas 
corpus shall be entertained if the validity of the order has been 
previously determined in any civil or criminal proceeding, unless the 
petition presents grounds which the court finds could not have been 
presented in such prior proceeding, or the court finds that the remedy 
provided by such prior proceeding was inadequate or ineffective to test 
the validity of the order.
    ``(d)(1) A petition for review or for habeas corpus on behalf of an 
alien against whom a final order of removal has been issued pursuant to 
section 238(b) may challenge only--
            ``(A) whether the alien is in fact the alien described in 
        the order;
            ``(B) whether the alien is in fact an alien described in 
        section 238(b)(2);
            ``(C) whether the alien has been convicted of an aggravated 
        felony and such conviction has become final; and
            ``(D) whether the alien was afforded the procedures 
        required by section 238(b)(4).
    ``(2) No court shall have jurisdiction to review any issue other 
than an issue described in paragraph (1).''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to 
determinations pending on or after such date with respect to which--
            (1) a final administrative decision has been not been 
        rendered as of such date; or
            (2) such a decision has been rendered but the period for 
        seeking judicial review of the decision has not expired.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding section 240(c)(6) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1229a(c)(6)) or any other 
limitation imposed by law on motions to reopen removal proceedings, the 
Attorney General shall establish a process (whether through permitting 
the reopening of a removal proceeding or otherwise) under which an 
alien--
            (1) who is (or was) in removal proceedings before the date 
        of the enactment of this Act (whether or not the alien has been 
        removed as of such date); and
            (2) whose eligibility for cancellation of removal has been 
        established by this Act;
may apply (or reapply) for cancellation of removal under section 
240A(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1229b(a)) as a 
beneficiary of the relief provided under this Act.
    (b) Parole.--The Attorney General should exercise the parole 
authority under section 212(d)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)(A)) for the purpose of permitting aliens 
removed from the United States to participate in the process 
established under subsection (a).

Answer:
Keeping Families Together Act of 2001 - Amends the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (Act) to repeal the provision amending the definition of "aggravated felony," and restore provisions of law amended by such provision as if it had not been enacted, including residency-or status-related rights of an affected legal alien. Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to revise detention of criminal alien provisions, effective as if included in the Act. Repeals, as if included in the Act: (1) certain provisions respecting termination of continuous presence or physical presence in the United States; and (2) the definition of "conviction."Authorizes the Attorney General to admit certain lawfully admitted permanent resident aliens returning to the United States who temporarily proceeded abroad voluntarily and not under an order of deportation or removal, effective as of a specified date, as if certain sections of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 had not been enacted. Revises provisions respecting judicial review of removal orders.Requires the Attorney General to establish a post-proceeding removal relief process for affected aliens.
