Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) introduced a resolution on March 5 to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for interrupting President Donald Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress.

At the beginning of the March 4 speech, Green stood up with his cane and heckled the president. After not heeding warnings by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Green was escorted out of the House chamber.
