Removing a certain Member from a certain standing committee of the House.
This House resolution (H. Res. 204) would remove Rep. Green of Texas from the House Committee on Financial Services. The resolution frames Rep. Green’s conduct during the March 4, 2025 State of the Union joint session and his subsequent actions (including a March 6, 2025 censure vote and protest) as a breach of decorum that degrades the proceedings and the dignity of the House and Senate. It cites Rule XXIII’s decorum standard and notes Rep. Green’s unrepentant statements as justification for stripping him of committee duties. The measure was introduced in the House on March 10, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Ethics; it would take effect if the House passes it. In short, if adopted, the resolution would remove a single named member from a standing committee as a disciplinary action for conduct deemed unbecoming of a member.
