Overview of Censure Resolutions in the US House of Representatives in 2025
In 2025, at least 17 censure or disapproval resolutions were introduced against members of the US House of Representatives, though most did not reach the floor for a vote.
The only censure to pass was by Dan Newhouse against Al Green following Green's interruption of former President Trump during a joint-session address.
In February, Representative Nancy Mace filed the first censure attempt against Representative Robert Garcia concerning Garcia's remarks about Elon Musk; the resolution cited inciting violence against a government employee but did not come to a vote.
Two separate censure resolutions against Representative LaMonica McIver were filed after her arrest outside an ICE facility; these were blocked by Democrats and some Republicans and did not reach a vote.
Representative Stacey Plaskett was targeted by a proposed censure related to texts with Jeffrey Epstein; this resolution failed due to unified Democratic opposition and three Republicans voting against it.
Representative Cory Mills faced three censure attempts: a resolution in September was withdrawn, a November measure introduced by Representative Clarke, and a later proposal by Representative Mace followed. Mills successfully moved to refer the matter to the ethics committee, and no censure vote occurred.
Representative Ilhan Omar was subject to a censure effort initiated by Representative Nancy Mace over comments about Charlie Kirk. Democrats blocked the motion, and some Republicans voted against it, with one GOP critic expressing concern about curtailing speech.
Representative Andy Ogles faced two censure resolutions over discriminatory remarks about Zohran Mamdani and Hakeem Jeffries; however, neither measure was brought to a vote.
