🇺🇸⚡️The House of Representatives requires only a simple majority to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

However, even if the articles of impeachment proposed by Thomas Massie are passed, this action would not result in his automatic removal from office.

The matter would proceed to the Senate for a trial, where conviction would necessitate a two-thirds majority, equivalent to 67 votes out of 100 senators.

@IntelSlava

🇺🇸⚡️ Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, Democrats/Independents hold 47. A trial before January 2027 would occur under Republican control, making a Hegseth conviction difficult.

Projected Democratic control in January (~54 seats) still falls short of the 67 votes needed for conviction.

Even with Democratic control, 11–13 Republican votes would be required to reach the two-thirds threshold.

Hegseth’s removal is highly unlikely, even if the House approves Massie’s impeachment articles.
