The House has voted 211 to 204 to refer the articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing the impeachment effort spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Tuesday’s vote short-circuits any potential floor vote on the articles of impeachment, and virtually guarantees the measure will not be taken up before the current session of Congress expires.
The vote provided a surprise reprieve for President Trump’s embattled Defense Secretary, who was facing an impeachment vote by the full House as early as Wednesday.
Massie reintroduced the articles of impeachment on Monday, accusing Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors in connection to the war with Iran and U.S. strikes against Iran and on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Just be thankful nothing will pass for 2 years. This is really the best case scenario for the US.
It’s not January yet. Of course the Republican-controlled congress shot this down. Have a little patience. Shit will get done.
Heading into failed state territory.
Status quo approved. Dont remove the filibuster, return it to its original form. Stand and speak till you cant, then its over and whatever it is passes.
