House Republicans Block Hegseth Impeachment Vote

Tuesday, November 10, 2026

House Republicans on Tuesday blocked an effort to impeach Pete Hegseth, rejecting allegations that the defense secretary had repeatedly violated the constitution through his handling of the Iran war and other conflicts globally. Top Democrats announced their support for the resolution, but Republicans moved to kill it by referring it to the judiciary committee. Their motion succeeded on Tuesday, by a 211-204 vote, largely along party lines. Massie was the sole Republican to oppose the motion, along with all Democrats.

A key truth is that Hegseth is not winning much support from even the Republican Party, and in the next two years, will certainly be doing and saying things that will turn off even more MAGA faithful. But he weakens America, and that has to please Putin, who some surmise is standing at Trump's shoulder helping him make wildly bad choices.

Of course they were going to.

Their fealty to Hair Furor is above everything else.

I'm sick of impeachment theatrics. All the way back to Clinton.

Most good prosecutors know not to charge if they don't have a good chance at convicting.

The House should do the same.

Impeachment should mean something. Right now it's just a daily headline.

Integrity should mean something. Right now it is on life support and not looking likely to pull through.

I know investigations are going to happen. They will be justified in many cases.

But.

These are all popular ideas amongst Americans. Let Trump veto such bills for two years before Dems take the Executive and passes the bills.

Impeachment is essentially political in nature.

Sometimes it's not about the conviction. Though that would be nice.

Politics is a blood sport.

It means a shot was fired across the bow of the opposition. It means another shot can and probably will be fired . And this one might hit its target. So you best slow that bullshat down. Or we will fire again.

And actually this was a shot from within the opposition party fired at itself.

The Dems haven't even got their ships in the water yet. But the armada is assembling.

I'd rather see legislation that takes away some executive power and gives it back to Congress. EOs are out of control, the POTUS just flushes the Congressional budget down the toilet (probably literally), and war powers are out of control. These overreaches are constant across administrations and it needs to be addressed.

There is no need for passing laws, just go back to the normal checks and balances. We need a Congress and Judiciary that actually do their jobs.
You know what would help immensely? Get money out of politics.
