Los Angeles, CA, November 9, 2026 —

U.S. Representative Thomas Massie has introduced a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The proceedings cite the Secretary’s conduct concerning military operations in Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela as the basis for the impeachment effort.

The resolution, officially filed by Representative Massie, is now awaiting a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. Details regarding the specific actions taken by Secretary Hegseth in the aforementioned regions that prompted the impeachment proceedings were not fully elaborated in the summary provided. The exact timeline for when the resolution will be brought to a vote was also not specified.

Impeachment is a formal process by which a legislative body brings charges against a government official. In the United States, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment, while the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. A simple majority vote in the House is required to impeach an official. If impeached, the official is then subject to trial in the Senate.

The summary did not provide further information on the potential outcomes of the vote or any subsequent steps in the impeachment process beyond its scheduled consideration by the House. The specific grounds for impeachment typically involve allegations of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The summary indicated that the Secretary’s actions related to military operations in Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela are the focus of Representative Massie’s resolution.
