[U.S. Republican House of Representatives proposes impeachment of U.S. Secretary of Defense] September 16th, U.S. Republican Representative Thomas Massey submitted an article of impeachment against Defense Secretary Hegseth on September 15, local time, accusing him of abusing his power and ordering hostile military actions against Iran without congressional approval. The impeachment resolution has almost no chance of passing, but Massey's move may force the House of Representatives to vote on it. It is reported that Massey submitted the articles of impeachment through the privileged motion procedure, which means that the House of Representatives must review the impeachment case within two legislative working days and cannot delay it. In this regard, the Pentagon press secretary said in an email statement: "The entire Department of Defense supports the direction of the Secretary of Defense, and we will continue to put U.S. military combat personnel and U.S. national interests first." Massy has always publicly criticized the war against Iran and U.S. assistance to Israel. He will leave office in January 2027 after the end of his current term as a member of the House of Representatives. In the party's primary election in May this year, he lost to a candidate who was endorsed by US President Trump and also received heavy financial support from pro-Israel groups. (CCTV News)
