The House recently voted 224\u200b to 198 to censure Green for his disruptive conduct during President Trump&#8217;s joint address to\u2064 Congress, where \u2064he shouted &#8220;You don&#8217;t have a \u200bmandate!&#8221; This led to a group of Democratic legislators singing &#8220;We Shall Overcome&#8221; in protest as the House Speaker attempted to\u200c proceed with the censure. Ogles has proposed a resolution to remove the protesting members from their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/embattled-los-angeles-councilman-kevin-de-leon-to-seek-reelection\/\" title=\"Kevin de Le\u00f3n, embattled LA Councilman, seeks reelection.\">committee \u200cassignments<\/a>, \u2063emphasizing the need for accountability and decorum in Congress. His resolution coudl be voted on soon, as \u200bhe \u200ccriticizes the Democrats\u2019 behavior as unprofessional. Green\u2019s outburst was cited as a primary reason for his censure,which typically requires the censured member to stand in the well while the resolution is read,a process disrupted by the protests that followed.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>GOP Rep.
