This resolution proposes the censure of Representative Al Green of Texas due to his disruptive conduct during the State of the Union Address on February 24, 2026. His actions, described as performative, interrupted the President's remarks and were deemed a breach of proper conduct during the joint session of Congress. The resolution further notes that this was the second instance within a year where Representative Green had to be removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms for unpatriotic disruptions that violated House rules on decorum. Consequently, the resolution mandates that Representative Green be censured , present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement, and have the resolution publicly read by the Speaker.
