Referred to the House Committee on Ethics.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that formally censures Representative Al Green for his behavior during a joint session. It orders him to appear in the well of the House so the Speaker can publicly read the censure. The measure is a disciplinary statement by the House and does not create criminal penalties, remove him from office, or change the law. It does not require action by the Senate or the President.
This is decided only by the House of Representatives and typically requires a simple majority vote; it is not presented to the Senate or the President and does not itself carry legal penalties beyond the House's formal rebuke.
