The House on Thursday voted to censure Rep. Al Green, D-Tex., for disrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday.

The House agreed to the resolution by a vote of 224-198, with two members, Green and Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala., voting “present.”

“Congressman Green, who I have known for over a decade, voted present himself,” Figures said.

“I voted present in solidarity with Congressman Green.”

Ten Democrats voted in favor of the censure.

After the vote, Green stood in the well of the House chamber as mandated while Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., read the censure resolution to him, according to a report from NBC News.

“Dozens of Democrats, including many fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, surrounded Green in the well and sang ‘We Shall Overcome’ in a show of solidarity as the speaker repeatedly told them to stop and clear the well,” NBC’s Kyle Stewart and Scott Wong report.

“Republicans in the chamber yelled, ‘Order! Order!’ And two CBC members, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, shot back: ‘Shame on you!’”, it continues.

A censure is a formal statement displaying public disapproval of a Congress member’s actions.

A censured member does not lose any rights or privileges as a House member.

Green, 77, shouted during Trump’s speech on Tuesday that the president has, “no mandate to cut Medicaid” after Trump had said in his speech that voters in the 2024 election had handed him a mandate to slash the federal government.

Johnson warned Green to take a seat before ordering the sergeant-at-arms to remove Green from the House chamber.

The House Freedom Caucus said in a post to X after the vote its members are filing another resolution seeking to remove Green from the House Financial Services Committee.

The group said that it expects Johnson to bring the resolution to the floor next week.

“I’m not angry with the speaker,” Green told NBC News Wednesday.

“I’m not angry with the officers. I’m not upset with the members who are going to bring the motions or resolution to sanction. I will suffer the consequences.”

“But I must add this, what I did was from my heart,” he continued.

“People are suffering, and I was talking about Medicaid. I didn’t just say you don’t have a mandate. I said you don’t have a mandate to cut Medicaid.”

“I did it from my heart and I will suffer whatever the consequences are,” he added. “But truthfully, I would do it again.”
