Censure in the U.S. House of Representatives is a formal reprimand that serves as a disciplinary action against a member for misconduct. It is less severe than expulsion but more serious than a simple admonition, and it typically involves a resolution passed by the House. A censure does not remove a member from office but may include a public reprimand, and the member may be required to stand in the well of the House to hear the censure read aloud. Censure is often seen as a significant mark against a member's reputation and can impact their political standing and future.
