Congress Can Oust Hegseth
Republican Representative Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The process begins in the House, where the articles can be approved by a simple majority, before the case is sent to the Senate for trial. Convicting and removing him requires the support of two-thirds of the Senate, but the chamber can dismiss the case or refer it to a committee. So House approval of impeachment does not necessarily mean he will be removed from office. The charges include, among other things, launching military operations without congressional authorization and violating laws protecting civilians. The document says that at least 80 vessels have been destroyed and 243 people killed since the operations began last year. Hegseth called the move political and said it would not succeed.
