This House Resolution seeks to formally censure Representative Al Green of Texas for his actions during the President's State of the Union address on March 4, 2024. The resolution highlights that the State of the Union is a respectful occasion within democratic traditions, which Representative Green allegedly disrupted. According to the resolution, Representative Green repeatedly interrupted the President's remarks, even after being admonished by nonpartisan House staff and the Speaker. His continued interruptions led to his removal from the joint session by the Sergeant at Arms, which the resolution deems a significant breach of decorum. The resolution asserts that Representative Green's conduct degraded the proceedings and was an affront to the dignity of both the House and Senate, undermining principles of mutual respect essential for legislative functioning. Therefore, it resolves that Representative Al Green be censured , requiring him to present himself in the well of the House for a public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
