Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of illegally waging war without congressional authorization and abusing his powers.
A vote in the US House of Representatives could take place as soon as this week.

If Trump continues this weak kneed crap than Iโm in favor of removing him, and putting in JD.
More and more I am thinking Trump won’t make it to the finish line.
I could see 20 Republican Senators going to the Oval Office and telling President Trump, “Sir, you won’t have the votes this time.”
I didn’t leave FR.
FR left me.
And this will cement power for the democrats for centuries. Uniparty rules.
It took six years from Nixon resigning to getting Reagan in the WH.
massie is what the typical nevertrumper is like....
"I voted for Trump 1, 3, ... 100 times, but"
"Trump and his admin must go, even if it means the dsa/jihadist take over...."
Major Undeclared Wars & Engagements: Since World War II, major conflicts have been initiated either through unilateral executive action or via statutory Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) rather than formal declarations. Examples include:
Korean War (1950โ1953)
Vietnam War (1955โ1975, using resolutions like the Tonkin Gulf Resolution)
Persian Gulf War (1990โ1991)
War in Afghanistan (2001โ2021)
Iraq War (2003
The TDS continues to mount.
Not if he mans up, stop being weak. Miller should lay do n the law to him.
Reason Number 47 why it’s STUPID to alienate and screw over a member of Congress in your own party, particularly during an election year.
How many here had “Republicans Impeach Hegseth” on your Bingo card?
Hegeseth is great.

Every single conflict on your list received approval from Congress in the form of an authorization to use military force. That’s also what made those wars legal under our Constitution. Iran? Not so much.
“Trump-backed Kentucky Republican wins Massie House seat”.
We may well intend up with an American Pinochet.
Of all things, why does Massie have it in for Hegseth?
I used to respect him more, but I’m starting to feel Massie is a plant.
He loudly burnishes his liberal credentials on small things (on farm meat processing, which I support) but on big things, he will always side with the opposition.

They’re not above impeaching JD too.
Iran declared war on the United States.
