According to ChainCatcher, U.S. Republican Representative Thomas Massie on Sept. 15 local time filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his authority by ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval. The resolution is seen as having little chance of passing. Even so, Massie’s move could force the House of Representatives to hold a vote on the matter. He introduced the impeachment measure as a privileged resolution, a procedural step that requires the House to take it up within two legislative days rather than set it aside. That filing route makes near-term House consideration mandatory under chamber procedure, even if the underlying effort is not expected to advance.
