How would impeaching Hegseth work?
House Republicans may attempt procedural moves to stop the impeachment vote against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but if successful, the resolution could pass due to unified Democratic backing. However, conviction in the Senate is unlikely given their current 53-47 majority. Even if the House votes to impeach Hegseth this Congress, his removal would only be possible in the next Congress when Democrats control both chambers.
