The math on Massie's impeachment push against Pete Hegseth looks shaky even to Massie. His own read is that the resolution might go down, and he says members have told him they back some of the Articles of Impeachment but not all of them. So the fallback plan: if the motion to kill it by sending it to committee fails and the Articles come up, he wants a separate vote on each one. Speaker Johnson isn't impressed, calling it "a political gambit for attention" and promising "we're going to defeat that, one way or the other." Rep. Austin Scott, no friend of the SecWar among Republicans, is a no anyway. VP JD Vance says flatly that Hegseth didn't commit impeachable crimes, and the whole thing is unlikely to land even if it clears the House. The reintroduced text targets Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, with Article 1 alleging waging war in contravention of the War Powers Resolution of 1973. A procedural scramble over a doomed resolution, obviously
