Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.
HRES 1085 is a procedural resolution censuring Representative Al Green (D-TX) for disrupting the State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, with the House citing this as his second recent removal for violating decorum rules. The resolution requires Green to appear in the House chamber for the public reading of the censure by the Speaker. This formal reprimand directly affects Green’s standing in the House but does not impose new legal penalties or alter policy.
