View on Congress.govLegal & Constitutional Grounding
Censuring policy dissent chills protected legislative speech under Art. I § 6 and 1st Amdt.
U.S. Const. art. I, § 6, cl. 1 (Speech or Debate Clause)
Censures Rep. Al Green for protesting Trump's Medicaid cuts at a joint session of Congress. Using censure to punish political dissent — rather than misconduct — undermines democratic norms and chills legitimate policy opposition within Congress.
