Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) introduced his censure resolution against the Democrat on the House floor on Wednesday afternoon, which notes that Green “repeatedly violated” decorum after he continuously yelled “You have no mandate” at Trump and waved his cane at the president.

A resolution to formally punish Rep. Al Green for protesting President Donald Trump's speech is possibly getting a House vote this week.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Central Washington, introduced the resolution to rebuke a Texas congressman who was removed from the House chamber after repeatedly interrupting President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress earlier in the week.
Green’s outburst was part of a larger pattern of Democratic protests, with some lawmakers engaging in both silent and vocal demonstrations against Trump’s speech. Democrats also faced criticism for refusing to stand and applaud when Trump honored a 13-year-old boy who survived brain cancer by naming him an honorary Secret Service agent.
