A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution seeks to censure Representative Al Green of Texas. It states that on March 4, 2025, during a joint session of Congress, Representative Green interrupted President Donald J. Trump's address. The text notes that this behavior violated decorum and order. It mentions that the Speaker of the House had advised members to maintain decorum. Because he willfully disrupted the session and remained defiant, he was removed by the House Sergeant at Arms. The resolution resolves that Representative Green must be censured, present himself in the well of the House, and hear a public reading of the resolution by the Speaker.
