Purpose and Summary

Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Bill 119 H.Res. 189 is a resolution introduced in the US House of Representatives to censure Representative Al Green of Texas. The resolution accuses Representative Green of making statements that have brought discredit to the House of Representatives. Specifically, it cites comments made by Representative Green in which he called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

The resolution argues that Representative Green's statements were divisive and inflammatory, and that they undermined the integrity of the House of Representatives. It also accuses him of using his position as a member of Congress to promote his personal political agenda.

The resolution calls for Representative Green to be censured, which is a formal reprimand by the House of Representatives. If passed, the censure would serve as a public condemnation of Representative Green's actions and would be recorded in the official Congressional record. Supporters of the resolution argue that it is necessary to hold Representative Green accountable for his actions and to uphold the standards of conduct expected of members of Congress. Critics, however, argue that the resolution is politically motivated and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. As of now, the resolution is still pending in the House of Representatives and has not yet been voted on. It remains to be seen whether it will ultimately be passed and whether Representative Green will be censured.
