Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the President to withdraw the United States from the Constitution of the World Health Organization, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a specialized United Nations agency focused on international public health. Specifically, the bill requires the President to immediately withdraw the United States from the WHO's Constitution and prohibits any federal funds from being used to support U.S. participation in the WHO or any successor organization. Additionally, the bill would repeal the Act of June 14, 1948, which originally authorized U.S. membership and participation in the WHO and provided funding for that participation. The legislation, titled the "WHO Withdrawal Act," would effectively end the United States' membership and financial support of the World Health Organization, preventing any federal department or agency from engaging with or funding the organization. This represents a significant departure from the current U.S. relationship with the WHO and would require the complete cessation of American involvement in this global health agency.
