@mothershipsg: The impeachment articles were launched against him on Nov. 9 by a fellow Republican, Kentucky representative Thomas Massie. Coming just about a week after the Republicans’ overwhelming defeat at the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3, they contained allegations including Hegseth’s role overseeing the Iran War, which top Republican officials have blamed for the party’s crushing defeat at the polls. Among others, Massie’s articles alleged that the Iran war was unconstitutional because the conflict was initiated by the Trump Administration without lawmakers’ approval. He made a nearly 1.5-hour speech on the U.S. House floor on Nov. 9 accusing Hegseth of abusing his powers and knowingly executing “unlawful orders” through the Iran strikes, adding that he will “remain a threat to the constitution if allowed to remain in office”. The House is expected to vote on Hegseth’s fate within days, with party sources claiming that the impeachment call is expected to pass. U.S. President Donald Trump backed Hegseth, stating that “he won 2 wars”, the Iran war and U.S.’ capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. Hegseth also declared he would fight back, stating that “it didn’t work against President Trump, and it won’t work with me”. Image via White House Gallery #mothershipabroad
