US Republican House Members Propose Impeachment of US Defense Secretary

On September 15, U.S. Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Hegseth, alleging an abuse of power by ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval. The chances of this impeachment resolution passing are virtually nonexistent, but Massie's maneuver could force the House of Representatives to hold a vote. By submitting the articles through a privileged resolution procedure, the House is required to consider and act on the impeachment within two legislative days, leaving no room for shelving or delaying the measure.
