Rep. Jamaal Bowman is the 27th member of the House in history to be censured, after his colleagues voted mostly along party lines, 214-191, in favor of the formal rebuke. The disciplinary action was taken in response to the New York Democrat pulling a fire alarm on Sept.

The resolution was sponsored by Rep. Lisa C. McClain (R-Mich.), secretary of the House Republican conference, who said that Bowman had “knowingly pulled a fire alarm to cause chaos.”
