On March 5, 2025, Congressman Troy E. Nehls from Texas introduced a resolution to censure fellow Texan Congressman Al Green. The resolution addresses what Nehls describes as disruptive conduct by Green during a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025.

According to the resolution, Congressman Green "engaged in behavior that interrupted President Donald J. Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress," which Nehls argues violated expected decorum and order for members of Congress.

The document further claims that Green "willfully disrupted the joint session, remained defiant, and was subsequently removed by the House Sergeant at Arms from the chamber."

Congressman Nehls commented on the situation: “Congressman Al Green’s behavior during President Trump’s historic joint session of Congress last night was shameful.” He continued, “Congressman Al Green repeatedly disrupted President Trump, even after Speaker Mike Johnson advised Members to maintain order. His actions brought shame on the great state of Texas. That’s exactly why I introduced a resolution to censure him. His behavior is inexcusable. As a member of Congress and a fierce advocate and defender of President Trump, I will do everything I can to ensure that order, decorum, and rules of this sacred chamber are upheld.”

The resolution has garnered support from several cosponsors including Representatives Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13), Randy Weber (R-TX-14), Pat Fallon (R-TX-04), Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI-05), Barry Moore (R-AL-01), Russell Fry (R-SC-07), Mark Harris (R-NC-08), Brandon Gill (R-TX-26), Mary Miller (R-IL-15), Rudy Yakym (R-IN-02), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01), Andy Barr (R-KY-06), Mike Collins (R-GA-10), Greg Steube (R-FL-17), Mark Green (R-TN-07), Ben Cline (R-VA-06), Derrick Van Orden (R-WI-03), Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ-02), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24), Michael Rulli (R-OH-06), Jake Ellzey (R-TX-06), Roger Williams (R-TX-25), August Pfluger(R-TX -11 ), Marjorie Taylor Greene(R-GA -14 ), Kevin Kiley(R -CA -03 ), Erin Houchin(R-IN -09 ), Morgan Luttrell(R -TX -08 ), Lance Gooden(R -TX -05 ), Keith Self(R -TX -03 ), William Timmons(R-SC -04 ), Nick Langworthy(R-NY -23 ), Dan Crenshaw(R -TX -02 ), Abraham Hamadeh(R-AZ -08 ), Jodey Arrington(R TX 19 ) , Bob Onder( R MO 03 ) , and Trent Kelly( R MS 01 ).
