The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives kicked off a process on Wednesday that could lead lawmakers to censure Democrat Al Green, who was kicked out of the chamber after yelling at President Donald Trump during an address.

During President Donald Trump’s address to Congress tonight, the Speaker of the House called on the Sergeant at Arms to restore order after Democratic lawmakers jeered the president’s early remarks about his election victory. House Speaker Mike Johnson directed the officer to “uphold and maintain decorum in the House.”

House Republicans are moving to immediately to punish the Texas Democrat who was removed from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting President Donald Trump’s speech.

Republican U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday ordered Democratic lawmaker Al Green removed from the House chamber during President Donald Trump's address to Congress, saying he violated decorum by standing during the speech.

Even before President Trump took the podium to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, Democrats began disrupting the proceedings. Within minutes, a lawmaker was escorted out of the chamber. Why it matters: The Democratic protests from inside the chamber represent an unprecedented level of coordination that reflects the immense grassroots pressure the party is facing to mount a resistance to Trump.
