Republican Representative Thomas Massie plans to reintroduce a resolution to impeach U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the House, while President Donald Trump has said he intends to keep him in the post despite criticism and a review of his performance. Even if the House approves the impeachment, that would not remove Hegseth from office: removal would require conviction in the Senate by a two-thirds majority—67 of the 100 votes, if all senators are present. Disagreement over the handling of the Iran war alone would not be grounds for removal; the charges would have to be based on conduct amounting to treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Hegseth’s departure would not automatically end the war, either, since ending military operations or changing their objectives would require separate decisions by the president and the relevant authorities.
