HRES 935 United States House · 119th Congress

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

This House resolution (HRES 935) proposes impeaching Secretary of Defense Peter B. Hegseth for alleged "high crimes and misdemeanors." It outlines two articles: Article I alleges Hegseth ordered lethal military strikes against a Caribbean boat carrying 11 people (described as potentially migrants, not drug smugglers) and later directed a second strike to kill survivors, violating murder laws and the Law of War. Article II alleges Hegseth recklessly mishandled classified information by discussing sensitive military operations in a private Signal chat with high-level officials and a journalist, breaching federal laws governing classified data. The resolution asserts these actions warrant impeachment, removal from office, and disqualification from future federal positions. As a proposed impeachment resolution, it does not enact law but initiates a formal process against Hegseth.
