On January 3, 2017, a bill entitled the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017 (ASRA) was introduced in the House to withdraw the US from the U.N.[37] This bill was nearly identical to the first such bill, the ASRA of 1997, introduced by Ron Paul.[38] Since then, a version of the ASRA has been introduced in every congressional session.[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] To date, each such attempt has been met with minimal congressional support and died in committee.
