The first has gone: the U.S. Congress has launched impeachment proceedings against Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, writes ABC News

Republican Thomas Massie has refiled a resolution to impeach the secretary of defense for consideration by the House of Representatives. Now members of Congress must take it up within two business days.

Massie hopes the initiative will be supported not only by Democrats but also by some Republicans. A simple majority of votes is enough to pass the resolution. However, even if the House approves the impeachment, removing Hegseth would require two-thirds support in the Senate. Given that Republicans hold the majority there, achieving that will be extremely difficult.

Hegseth is accused of illegally waging war against Iran and abusing his powers.

Первый пошел: в Конгрессе США запустили процедуру импичмента главы Пентагона Пита Хегсета, пишет ABC News

Республиканец Томас Масси повторно внес резолюцию об импичменте министра обороны на рассмотрение Палаты представителей. Теперь конгрессмены должны вернуться к ней в течение двух рабочих дней.

Масси рассчитывает, что инициативу поддержат не только демократы, но и часть республиканцев. Для принятия резолюции достаточно простого большинства голосов. При этом даже если Палата представителей одобрит импичмент, для отстранения Хегсета потребуется поддержка двух третей Сената. Учитывая, что там большинство у республиканцев, добиться этого будет крайне сложно.

Хегсета обвиняют в незаконном ведении войны против Ирана и злоупотреблении полномочиями.
