This House Resolution seeks to formally censure Representative Al Green of Texas due to his conduct during a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025. The resolution states that Representative Green interrupted President Donald J. Trump's address, thereby violating the expected decorum and order for Members of Congress. It further asserts that despite being advised by the Speaker to maintain decorum, Representative Green willfully disrupted the session, remained defiant, and was subsequently removed from the chamber by the House Sergeant at Arms. The resolution concludes that his actions brought disrepute to the United States Congress and mandates that he present himself in the well of the House for the public reading and pronouncement of this censure by the Speaker.
