The way I understand it, all cesuring is, is a public reprimand.
The congressman is called to the well of The House (in this case)
and the reprimanded in front of his peers by The Speaker (in this
case), and thus into the Congressional Record.  The congressman
by law, can lose none of his privilages.

This differs from a simp[le reprimand in that its contents are
made public, but that is about it.

That's the general gist of it.  I could have left out some of the
finer points, though.
