HRES 189 United States House · 119th Congress

Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.

HRES 189 is a procedural resolution censuring Representative Al Green (D-TX) for disrupting a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025, when he interrupted the President's address. The resolution states his conduct breached proper decorum, leading to his removal by the Sergeant at Arms. It mandates Green to appear in the House chamber for the public pronouncement of censure, with the resolution to be read aloud by the Speaker. This is a formal disciplinary action by the House, not a policy change affecting constituents or legislation.
