Congress members have made interjections during State of the Union without being censured or removed. But also, that's the Questions segment. That's what they're SUPPOSED to do. I have seen that, thanks.

It's pretty much just called "questions", and the shouts are typically not questions either.

I do like how that part of the political system works there and it's refreshing compared to the formality in the US. But keep in mind the distinction between random members of the public yelling things and elected representatives. People yell stuff at elected officials all the time here, and do things like protest when they're walking or driving by, but it's different than interrupting the largest speech of the year.
