Republican Rep. Thomas Massie on Sept. 15 filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abuse of power for ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval. The measure is unlikely to pass, but Massie used a privileged motion that forces the House to consider the articles within two legislative days and prevents them being tabled or delayed.
