What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "WHO Withdrawal Act," directs the President to withdraw the United States from the Constitution of the World Health Organization. It also prohibits any Federal department or agency from using available funds to support the United States' participation in the World Health Organization or any successor organization. Additionally, the bill seeks to repeal the Act of June 14, 1948, which provided for U.S. membership and participation in the organization.
