Censures are a way that the Congress, or solely the House or Senate, can express formal disapproval for an individual or government department

History

Censures were first formally established in the first Congressional Process on 1 May 2020. During this time, they could only be used to censure a representative.[1]

With the ratification of the Constitutional Repair Act II on 3 October 2020 (EST), the power to censure was added in the constitution for the Congress. They could censure any person or group.[2]

On 19 June 2023, the Censure Limitation Revamped Act or the CLR Act was signed into law which limited the ability to censure, only allowing one individual to be censured per motion.[3] However, entities such as government departments could still be censured.[4] This change was made in response to the actions of Representative zLost, who, on 30 April 2023, motioned to censure every other representative in Congress. Since the other representatives were ineligible to vote on the motion, it was passed.[5]

On 7 March 2025, the Commonwealth of Redmont Constitution Act was ratified, and removed constitutional provisions for censure.[6]

The process for a censure is currently defined within the Legislative Standards Act.[7]

4 The Red Army N/A 23 October 2020 "Senior members of the Red Army have begun advocating the use of mass violence as retribution for the rightful firing of two police officers for 15 counts of misconduct and inactivity.

5 Westray President 9 December 2020 "Westray made several false claims relating to the Honourable Nacho. These claims were presented on public display with little or no evidence to back them up.

Senate 3-0-1 [10]
6 13 December 2020 "for his interference in the election of a President Pro Tempore by attempting to block the Senate from electing its own leader.

These acts are unethical and break the government’s separation of powers, something dangerous for our democracy and which cannot be tolerated."
