Bill Summary
Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.
AI Summary
This resolution censures Representative Al Green of Texas for his disruptive behavior during a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025, when he interrupted the President's address. The resolution specifically details that Representative Green's conduct breached proper congressional decorum, leading to his removal from the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms. The censure requires Green to formally present himself in the well of the House of Representatives, where the Speaker will publicly read the resolution of censure. A censure is a formal statement of disapproval and criticism that is considered a serious disciplinary action in Congress, though it does not remove the representative from office. The resolution aims to publicly reprimand Green for his actions during the presidential address and affirm the expected standards of conduct for members of Congress during official proceedings.
