What does it mean to blame politicians?
Rep. Al Green of D-Texas is the latest member of the condemned legislature. What does the condemned mean?
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to condemn Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, on Thursday after holding back President Donald Trump in a Congressional address.
“You have no obligation,” Green said he suspended Trump’s speech to a joint Congressional session. Green was ordered to be removed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
R-Wash introduced by Rep. Dan Newhouse. The solution to the accusations introduced by the Bed said that Green’s words on the floor were “a violation of proper conduct.” It passed primarily along the party line, with 10 Democrats voting with Republicans to support the resolution, and two lawmakers “now.”
But what does it mean to be criticized by lawmakers? How common is that? Here’s what you need to know:
What does it mean to blame someone?
The condemnation is seen as the harsh public responsibilities of legislators brought about by other members of the Congress.
The US Constitution allows Congress to “punish its members for disorderly conduct.” The blame is a formal disapproval aimed at training members of the home.
Democrat Al Green was deleted during President Trump’s speech
House Speaker Mike Johnson took Democrat Al Green away during a speech by President Donald Trump.
The condemnation is written in the form of a resolution voted by the House of Representatives. Passing the condemnation means that the majority of members support the criticism contained in the resolution.
What happens when someone is criticized?
According to the US House of Representatives website, if a house is given a majority vote in favor of a resolution, the person accused of reading aloud “as a form of public responsibilities” must stand at the well of the house.

Two Democrats voted “now.” All Republicans who voted did so in favor of the resolution.
Examples of condemned senators and representatives
According to the House website, 27 representatives have been criticized before Greene. The latest censorship is:
Jamal Bowman, DN.Y., was accused of pulling a fire alarm on December 7, 2023 at the Cannon House Office Building in September. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, was condemned on November 7, 2023 over Israeli Hamas War War Shiff’s remarks. R-Ariz. Paul Gozard posted an “engaged video on social media accounts, a manipulated video on social media accounts depicting the murder of representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joseph Biden on November 17, 2021 scandal.
Only nine senators have been criticized in US history. The latest one was almost 35 years ago:
David F. Durenberger, R-Minn. was condemned on July 25, 1990 for “unethical conduct of “personal business transactions, Senate reimbursements, and campaign contributions for personal use.”
What other methods are used to train members of the home?
Members may also be expelled or rebeled.
At home, accusations are the second most serious punishment. The most serious is expulsion, which requires two-thirds of votes. Responsibility is not more serious than criticism.
