Key points

  • House voted 211-204 to refer Massie's impeachment resolution to committee
  • Massie was the lone Republican against the motion
  • Democrats could revive the effort when they take the House in January

The House on Tuesday sidelined the push to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Lawmakers voted 211-204 to refer Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-Ky.) impeachment resolution to committee. Massie was the only Republican to oppose the motion, joining all Democrats present [1]. Reason described the vote as effectively killing the proposal [2].

Massie's eight articles focus largely on Hegseth's use of military force in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela, which Massie argues needed congressional approval [3]. On CNN Monday, Massie said there was a "high probability" Hegseth would be out of office by Dec. 31 [4].

President Trump stood firmly behind his Pentagon chief. He urged Congress Monday night to "stand up for Pete" [5], and on Tuesday praised Hegseth's response to the impeachment push [6].

The fight is not over. The Daily Caller noted Democrats could revive impeachment efforts when they take control of the House in January [7].
