American Sovereignty Restoration Act

 

The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009 (ASRA) is U.S. House of Representatives bill 1146 (H.R. 1146) of the first session of the 111th Congress, "to end membership of the United States in the United Nations" (UN). The bill was first introduced on March 20, 1997, as H.R. 1146, to the first session of the 105th Congress (the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 1997); it was a legislative effort to remove the U.S. from the UN.[168] Paul reintroduced the bill on February 24, 2009[169]
[edit] History

The bill was authored by Ron Paul 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.[170] It would provide up to two years for the U.S. to withdraw.[171] The Yale Law Journal cited the Act as proof that "the United States’s complaints against the United Nations have intensified."[172]

In a letter to Majority Leader Tom DeLay of April 16, 2003,[173] 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."[174] 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".[173]

It had 54 supporters in the House in its first year.[168] It was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and was never released for a vote.
