Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth on Sept. 15 local time, accusing him of abusing his authority by ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval. According to the report cited by BlockBeats and attributed to China Central Television, the resolution is seen as having little chance of passing. Even so, the move could force the House of Representatives to hold a vote on the matter. Massie submitted the measure as a privileged resolution, a procedural step that requires the House to take it up within two legislative days rather than setting it aside indefinitely. The filing puts the issue on a mandatory timetable for House consideration, regardless of its prospects.
