Bill Summary
Censuring Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado for her recent disparaging and derogatory comments about Representative Al Green of Texas.
AI Summary
This resolution censures Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado for making disparaging and racist comments about Representative Al Green of Texas during a March 7, 2025 interview with Real America's Voice News. Specifically, Boebert used the phrase "shake his pimp cane" when referring to Representative Green, which the resolution describes as a breach of proper conduct and decorum in the U.S. House of Representatives. The resolution mandates three key actions: (1) officially censuring Representative Boebert, (2) requiring her to present herself in the well of the House of Representatives to receive the censure, and (3) having the Speaker publicly read the resolution as part of the censure process. A censure is a formal statement of disapproval or condemnation by the legislative body, which serves as a public reprimand and is considered a serious disciplinary action, though it does not remove the member from office.
