The house agreed on Thursday, a lively deputy Al Green, D-Texas, to Zentörden because he had disturbed President Donald Trump's speech at the Congress.
The spokesman for the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, R-La., In the early moments of Trump's speech on Tuesday evening from the chamber from the chamber. Green stood and shouted Trump after the Republican President said the election on November 5th raised a senior mandate that had not been seen for many decades.
“You have no mandate,” said Houston's legislator, shook a stick and declined to order Johnson to “take your place, sir!”
The Republicans quickly acted to blame Green with a censorship complaint that officially registers the deep disapproval of the behavior of a member through the house. As soon as such a decision has been approved with the majority, the member is asked to stand in the fountain of the house, while the spokesman or chair reads the decision.
The resolution against Green was approved in a mostly party line of 224-198.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, the sponsor of the resolution, said it was a “necessary but difficult step”.
“This resolution is offered in a seriousness, something that I believe we have to do to take this sacred chamber to the next level of behavior,” said New House, R-Wash.

It is the latest failure of the exuberant behavior that has occurred in the recent presidential speech on the congress. Outbreaks of legislators have taken place on Bothsids of political gait.
MP Jim McGovern, D-Mass., Noticed that the Republicans stopped in the past year when members of their conference interrupted the speech by the democratic President Joe Biden.
Some screamed in relation to the student student Riley “Say her name” when bidges spoke about immigration legislation where some legislators worked. Riley was killed by a Venezuelan citizen while running on the University of Georgia campus who illegally entered the United States in 2022 and was allowed to follow his immigration.
“Nobody apologized for keeping Joe Biden interrupted again and again,” said McGovern. “You talk about a lack of decency. Go back and look at the ligaments and there was silence from the other side. “
The censorship resolution states that Green's actions were “violation of proper behavior” during a joint address and that his distance “after numerous disorders”. Democrats tried to turn it on Wednesday, but these efforts failed at a party line.
Johnson tweeted before the voice on Thursday that Green “the institution of the congress and the voters he serves ashamed”.
“He intentionally violated house rules, and a numerous censorship rivals is an appropriate means,” said Johnson. “Every democrat who is concerned about regaining trust and respect for the American people should join House Republicans in these efforts.”
Green, who now served his 11th term, offered no regret on Wednesday when he explained his actions. Before he spoke out of the house to his own defense, he went to the Republican side of the chamber and shook Newhouse hand. Green said he did not accuse Johnson or those who accompanied him after his outbreak.
“Friends, I would do it again,” said Green.
He said his actions by saying that Trump had announced that he had gained a mandate from the voters. But Green said Trump had no mandate to cut Medicaid, a program on which many of his voters rely on.
“This is a question of the principle. This is a question of conscience, ”said Green. “People suffer in this country because they have no health care.”
He concluded his comments with the words: “In some questions that deal with conscience matters, it is better to stand alone than to stand at all.”
Trump said the state health care program last week: “We won't touch it.”
Some democratic legislators have skipped Trump's approach. Others went out during that. With significantly increasing tensions, the democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries from New York had previously told colleagues that it is “important to have a strong, determined and worthy democratic presence in the chamber”.
“I think Al Green said the truth,” said Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif. He was one of the dozens of Democrats who held the signs with the inscription “False” and showed other protest slogans during the speech by Trump.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, who was a spokesman during Trump's first term of office, remembered her memorable moment during a Trump address when she torn his speech opened after he had handed her to her after his speech.
“Everyone has to express their expression on how they see things. I think we should concentrate on the speech of the president,” said Pelosi.
