A bill introduced earlier this month by Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers calling on the United States to "terminate" its membership in the United Nations (UN) has caused some broad discussion on social media on Monday.

The bill, or American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017, proposes a complete U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations, where UN removes its headquarters from U.S. and stops participation in the World Health Organization.

The bill was quietly introduced on January 3rd and was passed on to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. If approved, the bill is expected to take effect in two years. It would also repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, signed in the aftermath of WWII.

Several prominent Republicans have reiterated their opinions that U.S. taxpayers' money should not go to an organization that does not represent U.S. interests. The U.S. President Donald Trump has described UN as "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time" and expressed that relations between the U.S. and the UN "will be different" during his presidency.
