In a move that could potentially jeopardize the political career of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, has introduced articles of impeachment in the House of Representatives. The charges accuse Hegseth of violating the US Constitution by engaging in hostilities in Iran for over 90 days without congressional authorization. Despite the likelihood that the effort will fail given the current Republican majority in Congress, Massie aims to push President Donald Trump to remove Hegseth before Democrats can initiate their own impeachment process. The move comes after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections, and follows Massie's criticism of Trump's foreign policy and his calls for the release of federal files on the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. If successful, this would be a rare instance of impeaching a cabinet secretary, as such actions require approval by both chambers for the secretary to be removed from office. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, must now schedule a time to consider Massie's resolution within two days. While Massie may have the support of Democrats in the House, he will also need to win over members of his own party. Some political analysts predict that Hegseth might be removed from office due to negative attention and a lack of job security rather than an impeachment vote.
