House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who will likely be the Speaker of the House come January, said Sunday that he is a “hard yes” when it comes to impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. The so-called secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran,” Jeffries said to ABC News’s Jonathan Karl on “This Week.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) had told Karl that he intends to introduce a resolution of impeachment against the defense secretary.
Yeah that one was a typo. I looked it up and couldn’t find anything specific beyond the constitution which a law journal confirmed covers all impeachments. Simple majority to impeach, 2/3rds to convict. I would be extremely surprised if anyone crossed the aisle to convict, but Texas also turned blue last week, so who knows!
