GOP Rep. Massie Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary Hegseth
Massie says Hegseth waged war without congressional approval and cites eight charges that could send the defense secretary to a Senate trial.
- On Monday, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, forcing a House vote within two legislative days by Wednesday, November 11.
- Massie's resolution alleges Hegseth violated the 1973 War Powers Resolution by engaging in Iran hostilities for more than 90 days without congressional authorization, a core constitutional violation.
- Beyond the Iran conflict, the articles cite extrajudicial killings in vessel strikes, unauthorized seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and targeting Sen. Mark Kelly for protected speech.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson opposed the measure, calling it a "terrible" look during active hostilities; Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries signaled support as Democrats hold majority power in both chambers.
- Conviction requires a two-thirds Senate majority, a historically high hurdle; only two Cabinet secretaries have been impeached in U.S. history, with neither removed from office.
