周四上午，众议院将进行最后一次投票，谴责民主党众议员阿尔·格林，此前他在唐纳德·特朗普总统任期内造成了混乱在国会联席会议上的演讲周二晚上。
民主党以209比211比1的票数没能阻止这项努力。
周三早上，共和党会议的几名成员正在分发不同的决议，谴责格林，他在多次打断特朗普的言论后被赶出众议院会议厅。
共和党众议员丹·纽豪斯(Dan Newhouse)是周三第一个在众议院正式提出决议的人。
纽豪斯在一份声明中说:“礼仪和秩序是我们在美国国会开展业务的制度基础，这位来自德克萨斯州的绅士在特朗普总统的演讲中完全无视这一标准是不可接受的。”“议员拒绝遵守议长的指示停止这种行为，不论其党派如何，已经并将继续在人民院受到斥责。”
谴责决议是众议院对违反众议院行为准则的行为的正式谴责。谴责众议院议员的投票除了公开谴责议员的行为之外没有任何权力，也不否认议员的特权。
它需要简单多数才能通过。谴责众议院议员在历史上是罕见的，但在过去的几年里，我们看到来自两个政党的议员把这作为一种政治工具。
格林将成为这十年中第五个受到指责的国会议员。
格林周三为他昨晚在众议院的行为辩护说，“我会再做一次。”
“我没有生议长的气。我不生警官的气。我不会对那些将议案或决议案付诸表决的议员感到不满。我会承担后果，”他说。
格林的爆发发生在特朗普讲话后几分钟内，当时总统称他的选举胜利是“授权”。
代表休斯顿地区的11届民主党议员格林站起来，指着他的拐杖喊道:“你没有权利削减医疗补助。”
议长迈克·约翰逊敲了敲他的小木槌，警告聚集在一起维持礼仪的议员们，几次告诉格林回到他的座位上。当格林继续抗议时，约翰逊要求他下台。
约翰逊在特朗普发表讲话后表示，格林应该受到谴责，他“绝对”会在决议出台后提出一项决议。他告诉记者，“这是一个没有必要的奇观。他以一种可怕的方式创造了历史。我希望他会喜欢。”
在周三早上的“早安美国”节目中，约翰逊也为他将格林除名的决定进行了辩护。
“阿尔·格林试图打断整个程序。但听着，我只想说。如果民主党想要一个77岁的国会议员来代表他们的抵抗，质问总统，那就来吧。
格林在周二晚些时候告诉美国广播公司新闻，他“遵从良心的意愿”
格林说:“有时候，独自站着总比根本不站着好。”他补充道，“在某个时刻，我们都将不得不站起来。”
格林说，截至周三下午，他没有就此事件与民主党领导层交谈，因为他一直在哀悼德克萨斯州民主党众议员西尔维斯特·特纳的去世。
House to hold censure vote against Democrat Al Green after he disrupted Trump's address
The House will move forward with a final vote to censure Democratic Rep. Al Green Thursday morning after his disruptions during President Donald Trump'sspeech to a joint session of CongressTuesday night.
Democrats fell short of blocking the effort by a vote of 209-211-1.
On Wednesday morning, several members of the GOP conference were circulating different resolutions to censure Green, who was ejected from the House chamber after interrupting Trump's remarks multiple times.
Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse was the first to formally introduce a resolution on the House floor on Wednesday.
"Decorum and order are the institutional grounds for the way we do business in the United States Congress, and the sheer disregard for that standard during President Trump's address by the gentleman from Texas is unacceptable," Newhouse said in a statement. "A Member's refusal to adhere to the Speaker's direction to cease such behavior, regardless of their party, has and will continue to be reprimanded in the people's House."
A censure resolution is a formal reprimand by the House for violations of the chamber's code of conduct. A vote to censure a member of the House does not hold any power beyond a public condemnation of the member's behavior and it does not deny the member privileges.
It requires a simple majority for passage. Censuring House members has been historically rare, but in the last few years we've seen members from both political parties use this as a political tool.
Green would become the fifth member of Congress to be censured in this decade.
Green on Wednesday defended his actions on the House floor last night, saying, "I would do it again."
"I am not angry with the speaker. I am not angry with the officers. I am not upset with the members who are going to bring the motions or resolutions to sanction. I will suffer the consequences," he said.
Green's outburst happened within minutes of Trump's address, when the president called his electoral victory a "mandate."
Green, an 11-term Democrat representing the Houston area, stood up and pointed his cane as he shouted, "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid."
Speaker Mike Johnson slammed his gavel and gave a warning to lawmakers assembled to maintain decorum, telling Green several times to take his seat. As Green continued to protest, Johnson called for him to be removed.
Johnson said after Trump's address that Green should be censured and that he would "absolutely" put a resolution on the floor after its introduction. He told reporters, "it's a spectacle that was not necessary. He's made history in a terrible way. And I hope he enjoys it."
On "Good Morning America" on Wednesday morning, Johnson also defended his decision to have Green removed.
"Al Green was trying to interrupt the entire proceeding. But look, I'll just say this. If the Democrats want a 77-year-old congressman to be the face of their resistance, heckling the president, then bring it on," he said.
Green told ABC News late Tuesday night he was "following the wishes of conscience."
"There are times when it it better to stand alone than not stand at all," Green said. He added, "At some point, we're all going to have to stand up."
Green said as of Wednesday afternoon, he hadn't spoke to Democratic leadership about the incident as he's been mourning the loss of Texas Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner.
