Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating the US Constitution by engaging in hostilities in Iran without congressional authorization for over 90 days. The vote is scheduled this week in the House of Representatives, though it is expected to fail given the Republican majority in Congress until January. Massie's move is an attempt to pressure President Donald Trump to dismiss Hegseth before potential Democrat-led impeachment proceedings. Hegseth has responded with a lack of concern and plans to hold a press conference on Tuesday regarding the matter. This is not the first time Massie has called for Hegseth's impeachment, as he originally introduced articles in September, and his push comes after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections. In addition to Iran, Massie alleges that Hegseth has intimidated critics of the Trump administration, kidnapped foreign leaders, and disregarded congressional war powers resolutions. The impeachment process, if approved by both chambers, would result in Hegseth's removal from office, a rare occurrence for cabinet secretaries. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson must now schedule a time to consider the resolution within two days, and Massie may gain support from Democrats in the House, but still needs to win over Republican members.
