U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie Submits 8 Articles of Impeachment Against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (Thomas Massie) has submitted a resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging the secretary continued military operations in Iran without congressional approval. Axios reported on Thursday that Massie argued the actions violated Congress's constitutional authority to declare war, claiming Hegseth's ongoing 'illegal war' in Iran hindered Congress's constitutional responsibilities. The resolution also includes military operations involving U.S. forces in Venezuela and Yemen.

The House must address the resolution within two subsequent legislative days, though there is potential for Republican leadership to block it through a procedural vote.
