Bill > HRes935

This resolution seeks to impeach Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, for two primary high crimes and misdemeanors. The first article of impeachment alleges murder and conspiracy to murder, specifically citing a September 2, 2025 maritime operation in the Caribbean Sea where Hegseth allegedly ordered lethal strikes against a boat containing 11 individuals, including a deliberate second strike targeting survivors of the initial attack. The resolution argues that this action violated international law, the Law of War Manual, and fundamental principles of military conduct by intentionally killing shipwrecked survivors without authorization or evidence of criminal activity. The second article of impeachment charges Hegseth with reckless mishandling of classified information, specifically referencing a March 2025 incident where he participated in a Signal messaging group chat that included sensitive operational details about planned airstrikes in Yemen, which were subsequently leaked to a journalist. The resolution contends that these actions endangered military personnel, undermined national security protocols, and demonstrated profound professional misconduct. The impeachment resolution seeks Hegseth's removal from office and disqualification from future government positions, arguing that his actions constitute severe breaches of his responsibilities as Secretary of Defense.
