"I'm looking for as many co-sponsors from our conference as possible. And I'm reaching across the aisle for anyone over there that was embarrassed by their own guy."

Rulli's resolution, first obtained by Fox News Digital, said Green's protest constituted a "breach of conduct."

The text also noted that it "was the second time in less than a year that the Representative from Texas had to be removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms due to unpatriotic disruptions that violated numerous House rules related to decorum."

The House of Representatives voted to censure Green in March 2025 for his last protest, which included waving his cane and shouting over Trump as he attempted to give his speech.

Senate Dem says he left the State of the Union address because he couldn't endure 'hours of Trump's lies'
