On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court rules the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that an individual State must recognize a marriage license issued by another State in accordance with the Equal Protection Clause and Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. This added on to a decision reached by the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Windsor on June 26, 2013, striking down the federal restrictions against same-sex marriage within DOMA. With these two decisions, the Defense of Marriage Act, originally signed into law by US President Bill Clinton in 1996, was rendered void and same-sex marriage was legalized across the United States. However, the decision does not apply to the territory of American Samoa nor to the tribal governments, several of which do not recognize or do not perform same-sex marriages within their jurisdiction.
