The United States counts 10 cardinals among the 133 eligible to vote for the successor to Pope Francis, including two from the tri-state area. Only four of the American electors actively serve as archbishops in the U.

Six are joining in their first papal conclave, and four others participated in the 2013 conclave that elected Pope Francis.

The United States is the home country of 10 of the 133 cardinals eligible to vote for the next pope of the Catholic Church. That's more than any nation except Italy, home to 17 of the electors who will gather at the Vatican's Sistine Chapel on Wednesday for the conclave that will choose a successor to Pope Francis.

None of the 266 popes in history have been from America. But ten Americans are eligible to vote in the conclave to select the next pope.
