United States Withdrawal From The United Nations
The United States of America has been a member-state of the United Nations since its inception as a supranational entity in 1945. Since the 1990s some conservative members of Congress have claimed that the United Nations subverts American sovereignty.
Congressman Don Bush of Utah, has claimed that many programs by the supranational entity have violated the US Constitution, such as the implementation of the International Court of Justice and the Law of the Sea Treaty, both of which the United States does not currently endorse.
