A Republican congressman plans to force a vote in the House of Representatives this week to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging he has violated the US Constitution.
asserted
he → publish → Constitution
"By engaging in hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional authorization, Secretary Hegseth is breaking the law and must be held accountable," Representative Thomas Massie said.
asserted
Massie → engage → law
The effort will likely fail, given Republicans will remain in power in Congress until January.
asserted
Republicans → fail → January
But Massie says he wants to push President Donald Trump to fire Hegseth before Democrats can launch an impeachment process.
asserted
Democrats → say → process
Hegseth, who will hold a news conference on Tuesday about Massie's move, said he was not concerned.
asserted
he → hold → move
"We're not worried about that," Hegseth said when asked by reporters about the impending resolution on Monday, adding he would hold a news conference Tuesday morning "on that very topic".
asserted
he → say → topic
Massie, who lost re-election earlier this year, is among the few Republicans who have been critical of Trump and the war that started earlier in this year in Iran.
asserted
that → lose → Iran
The Kentucky congressman first introduced impeachment articles in September and is now pressing for a vote in the wake of Republicans losing control of both the House and Senate in last week's midterm elections.
asserted
Republicans → introduce → elections
He has said his push to rid the administration of Hegseth is meant to prevent a Democrat spectacle next year.
asserted
push → say → spectacle
"My effort to impeach Secretary Hegseth is a much gentler version of what's coming when the Democrats assume control of the House and Senate next year," Massie also said in a statement.
asserted
Massie → impeach → statement
"They will hold hearings and trials."
asserted
They → hold → hearings
"President Trump should replace Secretary Hegseth now while he can still get a replacement confirmed in the Senate," he also said.
asserted
he → replace → Senate
Impeaching a cabinet secretary is very rare.
asserted
Impeaching → impeach → secretary
The impeachment must be approved by both chambers for the secretary to be removed from office.
asserted
secretary → approve → office
The House has voted to impeach only two cabinet members in US history, but the Senate did not agree on either one.
asserted
Senate → vote → one
Once Massie introduces his resolution - expected later on Monday - Speaker of the House Mike Johnson must schedule a time to consider it within two days.
asserted
Johnson → introduce → days
Along with voting on the resolution directly, the House has the option to vote to refer it to committee or to set it aside.
asserted
House → vote → it
Massie will likely have the support of the Democrats in the House, with that party's leader, Hakeem Jeffries, saying on Sunday that he is a "hard yes" on impeachment.
asserted
he → have → impeachment
But Massie would still need to win over members of his own party.
asserted
Massie → need → party
The House has passed a War Powers resolution - a measure that seeks to halt Trump from taking further military action in Iran - multiple times this year, with Massie's support.
asserted
that → pass → support
But Massie's disagreement with Hegseth also goes beyond Iran, he said in the statement.
asserted
he → go → statement
He has accused Hegseth of intimidating critics of the Trump administration, kidnapping foreign leaders and ignoring congressional war powers resolutions.
asserted
He → accuse → resolutions
