Summary of Bill HRES 197

Bill 119 H.Res. 197 is a resolution introduced in the US House of Representatives that seeks to censure Representative Al Green of Texas. The resolution accuses Representative Green of making statements that are deemed to be divisive and inflammatory, specifically in relation to his calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

The resolution argues that Representative Green's actions have undermined the integrity of the House of Representatives and have brought discredit to the institution. It also states that his statements have been harmful to the unity of the country and have further polarized an already divided political climate.

The resolution calls for Representative Green to be formally censured by the House of Representatives, which is a rare and serious disciplinary action. Censure is a formal reprimand that is issued by the House of Representatives to express disapproval of a member's conduct. If the resolution is passed, Representative Green would be officially censured and his actions would be formally condemned by the House of Representatives. This would serve as a public rebuke of his behavior and could have lasting consequences for his reputation and standing within the House. It is important to note that censure is a rare occurrence in Congress and is typically reserved for serious misconduct or ethical violations. The resolution to censure Representative Green is currently being debated in the House of Representatives and it remains to be seen whether it will be passed.
