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, specifically during President Donald J. Trump's address. According to the resolution, Representative Green violated the expected decorum and order of the congressional chamber by willfully disrupting the joint session, remaining defiant, and subsequently being removed by the House Sergeant at Arms. The resolution, citing Rule I of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress, which mandates that the Speaker of the House preserve order and decorum, outlines three specific actions: first, formally censuring Representative Green; second, requiring him to present himself in the well of the House of Representatives; and third, having the Speaker publicly read the censure resolution. The purpose of this censure is to formally reprimand Representative Green for actions that, in the view of the resolution's authors, brought disrepute to the United States Congress.
