Bill Analysis
HRES 189, introduced in the 119th Congress, is a resolution that formally censures Representative Al Green of Texas. The resolution stems from allegations regarding Representative Green’s conduct, which has been deemed inappropriate by some members of the House of Representatives. Censure is a disciplinary action that serves as a formal reprimand, expressing disapproval of a member’s actions without expelling them from Congress.
The resolution outlines specific instances of conduct that prompted the censure, although the details of these actions are not explicitly enumerated in the text of the resolution itself. The censure serves as a public record of disapproval and is intended to hold Representative Green accountable for his actions while in office.
The resolution does not allocate any funding or create new authorities, as it is primarily a statement of disapproval rather than a legislative measure that impacts funding or programs. It affects the House of Representatives’ internal disciplinary procedures and serves as a reminder of the standards of conduct expected from its members.
The primary beneficiaries of this resolution are the constituents of Texas’s 9th congressional district, who may seek accountability from their elected representative. Additionally, the censure serves to reinforce the ethical standards within Congress, potentially influencing the behavior of other members.
The latest action on HRES 189 was the laying on the table of a motion to reconsider, which was agreed to without objection. This indicates that the resolution has been accepted and will not be subject to further debate or amendment. The censure reflects the House’s authority to regulate its members’ conduct and maintain ethical standards within its ranks.
