Bill Summary

Removing a certain Member from a certain standing committee of the House.

AI Summary

This resolution removes Representative Al Green of Texas from the House Committee on Financial Services due to his conduct during the 2025 State of the Union address. Specifically, the resolution cites that during the joint session of Congress, Representative Green interrupted the President's speech, disregarded admonitions from nonpartisan staff and the Speaker, and was subsequently removed by the Sergeant at Arms. The resolution argues that his actions constituted a breach of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, violating Rule XXIII of the House Rules which requires Members to behave in a manner that reflects creditably on the House. The resolution notes that Representative Green was unrepentant, stating he would "do it again" and led a protest after being censured, further undermining the dignity of the legislative process. As a consequence, the resolution officially removes him from the Committee on Financial Services.
