H.Res. 189 · Congress
Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.
Introduced Mar 5, 2025 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
What does this mean?

This resolution formally reprimands Representative Al Green of Texas through an official vote of censure — a public statement of disapproval by the House of Representatives against one of its own members. A censure doesn't remove someone from office, cut their pay, or take away their vote; it's essentially an on-the-record scolding that gets read aloud and entered into the Congressional Record. The direct effect is on Al Green himself, in the form of this formal condemnation; it doesn't change any laws, programs, or services that affect the general public.
