Impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth With a Bipartisan House Vote
The Issue
Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, says he will force a vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as soon as Congress is back next week, according to CNN. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives from both parties should vote yes.
The war with Iran has dragged on with no clear end in sight. Several Republican lawmakers and allies, speaking to CNN without their names attached, say Hegseth helped convince the president to attack without a plan to get out. They say he promised a quick and easy win that never came, and kept pushing for more bombing even as Iran showed little sign of giving up. Those same Republicans say the conflict has tied the U.S. down in the Middle East and made life less affordable for families at home.
Hegseth says he is ready to fight impeachment. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Hegseth “will not back down,” according to CNN.
Impeachment is the tool the Constitution gives Congress to hold top officials accountable. It should not be a party-line fight. This push started with a Republican, and members of both parties now have the chance to show that the leader of the Pentagon answers to the American people and to the troops he commands.
The vote could come within days. Sign the petition to tell the House to vote yes on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
