Outgoing US Representative Thomas Massie has submitted a resolution in the House of Representatives to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating the Constitution by executing unauthorized military actions and engaging in activities detrimental to the Constitution. The resolution, which was reintroduced after initial opposition from Republican leaders, alleges that Hegseth's actions include waging war on Iran without Congressional approval, carrying out strikes on drug boats with disregard for safeguards, and orchestrating an unlawful war in Yemen. Massie called on Hegseth to resign before the incoming Democratic majority takes control of Congress in January, predicting that they will investigate the Defense Department's operations under his leadership. Despite Hegseth's defiant stance, pressure is mounting for his impeachment, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressing support and a potential majority of House Representatives backing the move. The measure is unlikely to succeed in the current Republican-led Congress, but it may face more scrutiny once Democratic lawmakers are sworn into office in January.
