The Money for UN

the American Sovereignty Restoration Act is a bill that has been introduced by various members of Congress, proposing withdrawal from the United Nations.

The most recent iteration is H.R.7806, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2022, introduced by Rep. Mike D. Rogers.[1]

History
The 2007 bill (H.R. 1146) was authored by U.S. Representative Ron Paul, Republican of the 14th district of Texas, to effect U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations.

It would repeal various laws pertaining to the UN, terminate authorization for funds to be spent on the UN, terminate UN presence on U.S. property, and withdraw diplomatic immunity for UN employees.[2] It would provide up to two years for the U.S. to withdraw.[3] The Yale Law Journal cited the Act as proof that "the United States's complaints against the United Nations have intensified."[4]

The bill was reintroduced in 2009 as H.R. 1146.

In a letter to Majority Leader Tom DeLay of April 16, 2003, and in a speech to Congress on April 29, Paul requested the repeatedly-bottlenecked issue be voted on, because "Americans deserve to know how their representatives stand on the critical issue of American sovereignty."[5] Though he did not foresee passage in the near future, Paul believed a vote would be good for "those who don't want to get out of the United Nations but want to tone down" support; cosponsor Roscoe Bartlett's spokeswoman similarly said Bartlett "would welcome any action that would begin the debate".

In 1997, an amendment containing the bill received a floor vote, with 54 representatives voting in favor.[6][7][8]

In December 2023, U.S. Senator Mike Lee and U.S. Representative Chip Roy introduced UN withdrawal legislation titled the "Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act."[9][10][11] The legislation was closely modeled on the ASRA.[12]
