Thomas Massie moves to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday. Massie accuses Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973 by executing an unlawful order to impose hostilities against Iran without congressional authorization. By continuing to employ War Department resources illegally, Hegseth allegedly defied Congress. Because the resolution is privileged, Massie can force a full House vote, escalating his ongoing efforts to constrain the Trump administration's military campaign and war powers.
