HRES 1177 United States House · 119th Congress

Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution formally impeaches Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, for six articles of high crimes and misdemeanors. The articles allege unauthorized military actions against Iran without congressional approval, violations of international law regarding civilian casualties, mishandling of classified information, obstruction of congressional oversight, politicization of military decisions, and discriminatory conduct toward service members based on gender, race, and sexual orientation. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, the matter would be sent to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Hegseth should be removed from office.
