A written action of Congress censuring a sitting member for his conduct isn’t nothing. It’s no different than a criminal conviction for a misdemeanor offense. It may be a slap on the wrist but the record follows the person going forward.

Yes, it is nothing. It has zero effect on anything whatsoever, beyond adding a page to the Congressional Record. It does nothing to punish anyone. It’s as meaningless as an impeachment without a conviction. Nothing more than a useless resolution (piece of paper) passed by the House.

It is entirely different from a criminal conviction and is in no way similar.

It’s not even a slap on the wrist. It’s literally just a piece of paper. It has no impact whatsoever on the person being censured.
