Main article: Censure in the United States Censure is a congressional procedure for publicly reprimanding the President of the United States or a member of Congress for inappropriate behavior. When the president is censured, it serves merely as a condemnation and has no direct effect on the validity of presidency. Unlike impeachment, censure has no basis in the Constitution, or in the rules of the Senate and House of Representatives. It derives from the formal condemnation of either congressional body of their own members.

To date Andrew Jackson is the only sitting president to be successfully censured.[1]

So then, in effect, the only thing that would happen is that they would say they don't like me saying that stuff?

That's like asking a dog why he soiled on the carpet and sayin you are upset.
