Thomas Massie says he intends to force a House vote on his articles of impeachment against the Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, on Monday 9 November. Asked by MS NOW whether he would trigger the resolution on Monday, he said: "That's the plan."
Once the resolution is triggered, House Republican leaders must act within two legislative days, MS NOW reports. They can hold a floor vote, a vote to table or a vote to refer it to committee, and each option needs a majority. That would put a vote on Wednesday or Thursday.
CNN says many Republicans expect the effort to pass. Don Bacon, a Republican, told CNN he is "weighing" whether to back it and called on Hegseth to resign.
Hegseth said on Monday that he agreed with Trump he would "do it again" on the Iran war. Asked whether he had enough Republican support, he said: "We're not worried about that." He declined to address a post by Vance blaming the war for the midterm losses. CNN reports that he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday.
Trump said after the midterms: "I think he's doing a fantastic job."
The resolution has not yet been confirmed as filed.
