This resolution seeks to impeach Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, based on six articles of alleged misconduct. The charges include initiating military operations against Iran without congressional authorization, violating international laws of armed conflict including targeting civilians, mishandling classified military information through unsecured communications, obstructing congressional oversight by withholding information about military operations, abusing his power by politicizing military decisions and targeting officials for political reasons, and bringing disrepute to the military through discriminatory treatment of women, LGBTQ+ personnel, and people of color. The resolution was introduced in April 2026 by a group of Democratic members and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration. If approved by the House, the case would proceed to the Senate for trial, where a two-thirds majority would be required to remove Hegseth from office.
