AI Fusion Summary

The impeachment process for Cabinet secretaries, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, begins with a simple majority vote in the House to approve articles of charge. If the House passes them, the Senate conducts a trial, where a two‑thirds supermajority is required for removal. This procedure mirrors presidential impeachment but applies to high‑level executive officials.
