 RESOLUTION

 Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.

Whereas, on March 4, 2025, during the joint session of Congress convened by the 
 invitation of the House and Senate, Representative Al Green of Texas 
 engaged in behavior that interrupted President Donald J. Trump's address 
 to a joint session of Congress, violating decorum and order expected of 
 Members of Congress;
Whereas pursuant to Rule I of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress of the House 
 of Representatives, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall 
 preserve order and decorum in the chamber;
Whereas Members of Congress were advised by the Speaker of the House to maintain 
 decorum;
Whereas Representative Green willfully disrupted the joint session, remained 
 defiant, and was subsequently removed by the House Sergeant at Arms from 
 the chamber; and
Whereas the actions of Representative Green brought disrepute to the United 
 States Congress: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That--

    (1) Representative Al Green of Texas be censured;

    (2) Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in 
 the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement 
 of censure; and

    (3) Representative Al Green be censured with the public 
 reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
