Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution impeaches Secretary of Defense Peter B.
Hegseth, alleging high crimes and misdemeanors.
It presents six articles accusing him of initiating unauthorized hostilities with Iran, violating the laws of armed conflict, mishandling classified information, obstructing Congress, politicizing the military, and bringing disrepute upon the Department of Defense.
Impeachment resolution may pass a sympathetic House but achieving Senate conviction and removal is rare and difficult.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution conforms to the structural norms of an impeachment instrument: it impeaches the named official and sets out multiple articles of alleged 'high crimes and misdemeanors' organized into numbered clauses, and it references relevant constitutional and international legal frameworks. The document is clear in purpose and sufficiently specific in charge categories to put the House and the Senate on notice of the grounds for impeachment.

Emphasizes enforcing constitutional war powers, protecting civilians and servicemembers, and upholding civil‑military norms.
Cautious support for oversight but insists on strong factual grounding and narrow scope.
Wants due process, bipartisan fact-finding, and careful consideration of national security tradeoffs before endorsing removal.
Likely views the resolution as a partisan attack that risks undermining civilian leadership of the military and command effectiveness.
Skeptical of the allegations absent clear criminal conduct and concerned about national security consequences.
