U.S. Representative Thomas Massie entered Congress in November 2012 and represents Kentucky's 4th Congressional District.

Establishes that Massie has held the relevant federal House office since November 2012, so WTO-withdrawal action after that date is relevant to assessing fulfillment.

The approval of Congress for the WTO Agreement ceases only if a qualifying joint resolution is enacted into law; the statute specifies the resolution text: Congress withdraws its approval of the WTO Agreement.

U.S. law provides a specific statutory path for Congress to terminate approval of U.S. WTO participation. No enacted withdrawal joint resolution is identified, so the promise was not delivered legislatively.

19 U.S. Code § 3535 - Review of participation in WTO
secondary · model gpt-5.5 · confidence 93%

The statute notes that the Uruguay Round Agreements, including the World Trade Organization Agreement, entered into force with respect to the United States on January 1, 1995.

Confirms the United States entered the WTO framework in 1995 and that withdrawal would require later legal action; the continued statutory framework undermines any claim that withdrawal was completed.

The WTO member-information page lists the United States of America as a WTO member, with membership dating from January 1, 1995.

As of the available WTO member record, the United States remains listed as a WTO member, so the promised withdrawal has not occurred.

Article XV of the WTO Agreement provides that any member may withdraw from the agreement, with withdrawal taking effect six months after written notice is received by the WTO Director-General.

The treaty contains a formal withdrawal mechanism; the United States remains listed as a member, indicating that mechanism has not resulted in U.S. withdrawal.

Congress.gov's member profile is the official index for legislation sponsored and cosponsored by Representative Thomas Massie. Searches for Massie-specific WTO withdrawal legislation did not identify an enacted bill or joint resolution withdrawing the United States from the WTO.

No official legislative record found shows Massie delivering or enacting WTO withdrawal; absence of enacted withdrawal legislation supports a failure finding and does not justify an effort badge based on clear Massie action.
