A Republican lawmaker has moved to force a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, setting the stage for a showdown over one of the most divisive figures inside Donald Trumpโ€™s administration.

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 Iโ€™m 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.”

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 (1950โ€“1953)
Vietnam War (1955โ€“1975, using resolutions like the Tonkin Gulf Resolution)
Persian Gulf War (1990โ€“1991)
War in Afghanistan (2001โ€“2021)
Iraq War (2003

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?

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.

Massie deserved everything he got and more. He's a fraud and always has been.

The best part about the GOP wipe-out is that the Massie/Cornyn/Collins/MTG phony-conservative wing of the party is one step closer to being completely out of power.

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.
