Ron Johnson introduced legislation Thursday that would push back against the World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) overreach and ensure the Senate has power over its pandemic treaty.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller first obtained the legislation, titled the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, which was spearheaded by Johnson and has 15 cosponsors. The bill mentions the WHO creating an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/who\/status\/1465995349831659535?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">intergovernmental negotiating body<\/a> (INB) and, if passed, would require any agreement produced by the INB to be submitted to the Senate as a treaty in an effort to provide more transparency on the administration.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers believe\u00a0they need to start fighting to prevent the WHO from creating an INB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe World Health Organization, along with our federal health agencies, failed miserably in its response to COVID-19. Its failure should not be rewarded with a new international treaty that would increase its power at the expense of American sovereignty. What the WHO does need is greater accountability and transparency,\u201d Johnson told the Daily Caller prior to officially introducing the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bill makes clear to the Biden administration that any new WHO pandemic agreement must be deemed a treaty and submitted to the Senate for ratification. The sovereignty of the United States is not negotiable,\u201d Johnson continued. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/04\/16\/house-republicans-slam-pelosi-for-trumps-world-health-organization-cuts-are-illegal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans Criticize Pelosi For Saying Trump\u2019s WHO Cuts Are \u2018Illegal\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE BILL HERE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- No WHO Treaty, 5-25-22 on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/575890460\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-No-WHO-Treaty-5-25-22#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bill was cosponsored by Republican Sens.
