What is Censure? Trump's 'Racist' Comments Spark New Measure to Condemn the President

.............Two House Democrats announced on Friday that they planned to introduce a measure to censure President Donald Trump, following his comments describing Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries.”

Congressman Cedric Richmond (D-La.), Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) and Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) will formally unveil a resolution, .................................

The process is, according to the U.S. Senate, a “formal statement of disapproval.” It is not as severe as impeachment, nor does it hinder the president from continuing to govern as he sees fit. The Senate could pass a censure resolution by majority vote, but lawmakers could filibuster the measure, requiring 60 votes to cut off debate.


A censured president can remain in office—unlike impeachment, or the invocation of the 25th Amendment, both of which would remove the president from the White House and allow the vice president to step in. Rather, censure is a public reprimand that sends a message to the rest of the world that not all lawmakers are on the same page.

"This censure resolution is important because America is a beacon of hope,” said Richmond and Nadler in a joint statement. “We have to show the world that this President does not represent the real feelings of most of the American people which is part of the reason why he lost the popular vote."
