   NOTICE OF INTENTION TO OFFER RESOLUTION RAISING A QUESTION OF THE 
                        PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX, I 
rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the 
privileges of the House.
  The form of the resolution is as follows:
  Resolution Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas.
  Whereas, on March 4, 2025, during the joint session of Congress 
convened pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 11, the President of 
the United States, speaking at the invitation of the House and Senate, 
had his remarks interrupted by the Representative from Texas, Mr. 
Green;
  Whereas, the conduct of the Representative from Texas disrupted the 
proceedings of the joint address and was a breach of proper conduct; 
and
  Whereas, after numerous disruptions, the Representative from Texas 
had to be removed from the Chamber by the Sergeant at Arms:

[[Page H986]]

  Now, therefore, be it resolved that Representative Al Green be 
censured; Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well 
of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure; and 
Representative Al Green be censured with the public reading of this 
resolution by the Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under rule IX, a resolution offered from the 
floor by a Member other than the majority leader or the minority leader 
as a question of the privileges of the House has immediate precedence 
only at a time designated by the Chair within 2 legislative days after 
the resolution is properly noticed.
  Pending that designation, the form of the resolution noticed by the 
gentleman from Washington will appear in the Record at this point.
  The Chair will not at this point determine whether the resolution 
constitutes a question of privilege. That determination will be made at 
the time designated for consideration of the resolution.

                          ____________________
