Long before the -boot from Trump’s speech, Rep. Al Green calls for the presidential impeachment

He was the first Democrats to call for impeachment during the first term of President Donald Trump in the White House and now Rep. Al Green is believed to be a member of the first parliament in modern history that was expelled from a joint session of the congress or the condition of the union speech, according to a presidential historian.

The 78 -year -old Texas Congress was escorted out of the DPR’s room at the Capitol Building Tuesday by the DPR Sergeant in the hand after he stood up and shook his stick in Trump, and refused to obey the orders of DPR speaker Mike Johnson to sit and refrain from disturbing the President’s speech by shouting criticism.

“I cannot think of other parliamentary members issued. In modern history, I can say with the level of trust that the answer is not,” said Historian President Mark Upgrove, CEO of President Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation.

Before Trump’s speech, House Freedom Caucus member asked Sergeant with weapons to take action against members of the Congress who violated the DPR’s rules during the speech.

“The president’s speech for the joint session of the evening congress is a constitutional obligation – not a spectacle for Democrats to use habits, make threats, throw something or disturb,” said Caucus Freedom in a statement posted on social media. “Our colleagues notice that Veto Heckler will not be tolerated. You will be criticized. We expect sergeant in weapons and police capitols to take appropriate action against members of the congress or others who violate the rules of the house.”

On Wednesday morning, the hardline group said they would criticize green, but Rep. The moderate and newhouse gop from Washington defeated them. Newhouse officially introduced sizes on the floor of the house to criticize Green, which is expected to be chosen on Thursday.

Members of the Caucus Freedom including Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado.

During the state of the state of the union of President Joe Biden between 2022 and 2024, Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Georgia, denounced the former president. During the Biden 2023 speech from the Union of the Union, Greene stood and shouted “liar” several times to the former president, but was not escorted out of the DPR’s room.

Upgrove, an ABC news contributor, noted that Rep. Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina, shouted “You Lie” during the address of the former President Barack Obama 2009 to a joint congress session on health care. At that time, the House of Representatives, with Democrats held the majority, chose to reprimand Wilson, who then issued an apology to Obama.

“Episode Joe Wilson is a kind of greater hostility introduction at the congress, at least in modern times,” Upgrove said.

After attacking Trump, shouting, “You don’t have a mandate to cut Medicaid,” Green was removed from the room Tuesday night. He then told ABC News that he would welcome all the consequences of his disturbance, saying he “followed the desire of conscience.”

“There are times when it’s better to stand alone than not standing at all,” Green said.

Green doubled his protest against Trump’s speech on Wednesday, saying if I was given the opportunity, “I will do it again.”

“I am not angry with the speaker. I am not angry with officers. I am not upset with members who will bring a motion or resolution to sanctions. I will suffer the consequences,” Green told ABC News.

Green added, “What I do is from my heart. People suffer. And I talk about Medicaid. I don’t just say you don’t have a mandate. I say you don’t have a mandate to cut Medicaid.”

Green said he had not spoken with the Democratic leadership about his Tuesday night.

This is not the first time Green, which represented the 9th Congress District of Texas since 2005, has been a thorn on Trump.

In May 2017, Green presented the first article of impeachment against Trump, quoting the shooting of FBI Director James Comey. In July 2019, he called for Trump’s impeachment again, quoting the President’s attack on four Democratic Congress women. The DPR chose to table green resolution, effectively kill him.

And only last month, Green announced on the floor of the congress that he intended to re -submit an expertise article against Trump, quoting the president’s advice that the United States took over the Gaza Strip.

“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green said on the floor of the house. “I rose to announce that I would bring an impeachment article for the president for the proposed cowardly acts and cowardly actions were carried out.”

In February 2024, Green, while leaving his hospital bed in a wheelchair after undergoing intestinal surgery to vote against the impeachment led by the Republican party over Alejandro Mayorkas, then the Secretary of Domestic Security Biden, for handling the crisis on the southern border. The House of Representatives finally chose 214-216 not to neglect Mayorkas.

“I want to do everything I can because I know the Secretary of Mayorkas. He is a good and kind man and I don’t want to see his reputation tarnished,” Green said at the time.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Green moved to Houston, Texas, in the 1970s to attend the Thurgood Marshall law school, where he obtained a law graduate degree, according to a biography published on his website. He then founded and participated in managing the Green, Wilson, Dewberry, and Fitch’s law firms.

Green also served as a peace judge for Harris County, Texas, for 26 years, retired in 2004 to run for the congress. He also served for 10 years as President of the Houston Naacp branch.

During his term of office at the congress, Green had focused on fair housing and fair recruitment practices for the poor and minority. While at the Congress, he had served at the DPR’s Financial Services Committee and the Domestic Security Committee, and arranged the DPR’s Supervision and Investigation Subcommittee.

On his website, Green praised his family for teaching him “true resistance to overcome continuous injustice.”
