According to The Atlantic, Democrats are preparing to initiate proceedings to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth if they regain control of the House of Representatives in next week's midterm elections. One option being considered is impeachment. Democrats face a significant challenge: even if they manage to gain a majority in the House of Representatives and vote to impeach Hesseth, his impeachment would require a majority in the Senate, making impeachment unlikely. That's why some Democratic lawmakers are considering vigorous congressional investigations, hearings and limits on defense spending. Their priorities include examining US military casualties and damage to military bases during the Iran war, controversial strikes in the Caribbean and departures of senior commanders.
