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 Andy Ogles. The resolution alleges that Representative Ogles has used racist rhetoric against House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It also claims he has used anti-Muslim rhetoric against New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. Additionally, it states he has called for the deportation of Assemblymember Mamdani based on political beliefs and religion. The resolution concludes by calling for the Representative to be censured and to present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement.
