Republican defence secretary Pete Hegseth is facing a House vote on an impeachment resolution within days after Congressman Thomas Massie filed a privileged resolution accusing him of continuing the war in Iran without congressional authorisation and defying Congress's authority over war powers.
Because the resolution is privileged, House rules require it to receive floor action within two legislative days, meaning Republican leaders must bring it before the House, although they can move to table it, a procedural motion that would effectively kill the resolution without a substantive vote.
