Bill > HRes193

This resolution censures Representative Al Green of Texas for his conduct during the 2024 State of the Union address. Specifically, the resolution details that during the joint session of Congress, Representative Green interrupted the President's remarks despite being admonished by nonpartisan House staff and the Speaker, ultimately being removed from the session by the Sergeant at Arms. The resolution argues that Green's actions constituted a breach of decorum that degraded the proceedings and undermined the dignity of both the House and Senate. As a result, the resolution mandates three actions: (1) formally censuring Representative Green, (2) requiring him to present himself in the well of the House of Representatives to receive the censure, and (3) having the Speaker publicly read the resolution of censure. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining respectful and civil conduct during significant democratic proceedings like the State of the Union address.
