Whereas the annual State of the Union address is a momen-
tous occasion for the President of the United States to
address the Nation;
Whereas the speech is a respectful occasion, conducted within
the framework of democratic institutions and traditions;

Whereas Representative Green continued his interruption, de-
spite admonition from nonpartisan staff of the House
and from the Speaker;
Whereas Representative Green was removed from the joint
session by the Sergeant at Arms;
Whereas the conduct of Representative Green was a breach
of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint ses-
sion, to the discredit of the House;
Whereas the actions of Representative Green were not only
a breach of civility but also an affront to the dignity of
the House and Senate, and to the principles of mutual
respect that are essential for the functioning of the legis-
lative process;
Whereas Representative Green was unrepentant leading up to
the vote taken in the House on March 6, 2025, to cen-
sure him, stating before his colleagues on the House
Floor, ‘‘Friends, I would do it again’’ and further ac-
knowledging that he spoke out ‘‘with intentionality’’;
Whereas Representative Green heard the Speaker say that he
should cease but chose to carry on;
Whereas Representative Green led his colleagues in protest of
his censure on that date, which further violated the deco-
rum of the House;
Whereas clause 1 or rule XXIII of the Rules of the House
of Representatives provides, ‘‘A Member, Delegate, Resi-
dent Commissioner officer, or employee of the House
shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect
creditably on the House’’; and
Whereas Representative Green should be removed from his
committee assignments in light of conduct he has exhib-
ited: Now, therefore, be it
