United States congressional delegations from the Philippines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the early 20th century, the Philippines was a territory of the United States. A representative, known as a "Resident Commissioner" had non-voting delegate status in the United States House of Representatives, much like Resident Commissioners from Puerto Rico do today. The Philippines had 2 Resident Commissioners from 1907 to 1937 and then 1 from 1937 to independence in 1946.

The entire island nation was represented in one congressional district. Since 1946, however, the Philippines is no longer represented in Congress.

These are tables of congressional delegations from the Philippines to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives.
