The House voted on Thursday to censure Democrat Al Green over his outburst at President Donald Trump's speech to Congress on Tuesday night.

The Republican-led effort passed 224-198 with two members voting present, one of them being Green. Ten Democrats voted on the resolution to censure Green.

Green was ejected from the joint session on Tuesday after interrupting the president's speech and refusing to sit down despite warnings from Speaker Mike Johnson.

By Wednesday morning, several members of the GOP conference were circulating different resolutions to censure Green. Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse was the first to formally introduce a resolution on the House floor on Wednesday.
