           RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of the 
privileges of the House and offer the resolution that was previously 
noticed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the resolution.
  The Clerk read as follows:

                              H. Res. 829

       Whereas in May 2019, Rashida Tlaib said that she celebrated 
     the Holocaust, and felt a ``calming feeling'' when thinking 
     about the genocide of millions of Jews;
       Whereas in 2020, Rashida Tlaib retweeted an illustration 
     with the caption, ``From the river to the sea, Palestine will 
     be free'', and this Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) 
     slogan has been adopted by Hamas and calls for the 
     elimination of Israel and the death of all Jews;
       Whereas in September 2022, Rashida Tlaib, as a member of 
     the Congressional Progressive Caucus, displayed her disdain 
     for Israel, saying, ``You cannot claim to hold progressive 
     values yet back Israel's apartheid government.'';
       Whereas instead of denouncing the horrors of Hamas 
     slaughtering Israelis and demanding the release of all 
     hostages held by Hamas, Rashida Tlaib stated on October 8, 
     2023, ``The path to the future must include lifting the 
     blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the 
     apartheid system that creates the suffocating dehumanizing 
     conditions that can lead to resistance.'';
       Whereas Rashida Tlaib exhibited her hatred for America by 
     reposting a message on October 12, 2023, blaming America for 
     allowing the deaths of Palestinian babies at the hands of 
     Israel;
       Whereas Rashida Tlaib led an insurrection at the United 
     States Capitol Complex on October 18, 2023, which put Members 
     of Congress, their staffs, and Capitol visitors in danger by 
     shutting down elevators, stairwells, and points of egress, 
     while obstructing official business in both the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate, including a Senate Foreign 
     Affairs Committee hearing;
       Whereas the insurrection led by Rashida Tlaib was organized 
     by Jewish Voice for Peace, which the Anti-Defamation League 
     calls ``a radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates 
     for a complete economic, cultural and academic boycott of the 
     state of Israel'', and that believes ``Israeli policies and 
     actions are motivated by deeply rooted Jewish racial 
     chauvinism and religious supremacism.'';
       Whereas members of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-
     left nonprofit organization, were present at the insurrection 
     at the Capitol on October 18, 2023;
       Whereas several insurrectionists at the Capitol belong to a 
     group messaging chat called, ``Global Intifada'', which is 
     the Arabic word for ``rebellion'' or ``uprising'', and refers 
     to a series of protests and violent riots carried out by 
     Palestinians in Israel during the last century;
       Whereas by leading an anti-American and antisemitic 
     insurrection on October 18, 2023, Rashida Tlaib followed 
     Hezbollah's orders to carry out a ``day of unprecedented 
     anger'' following an explosion at a Gazan hospital, lying 
     about Israel's responsibility for the attack, which United 
     States intelligence agencies said was not perpetrated by 
     Israel; and
       Whereas Members of Congress who denounce the United States 
     while praising terrorist organizations are unfit to hold 
     office: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That--
       (1) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured;
       (2) Representative Rashida Tlaib forthwith present herself 
     in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
     pronouncement of censure; and
       (3) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured with the 
     public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.


                            Motion to Table

  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Ms. Clark of Massachusetts moves to lay the resolution on 
     the table.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
they noes appeared to have it.
  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas 
and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.

nays 186, not voting 24, as follows:
