Atlantic: The Democrats have risen to impeach the US Secretary of War The Atlantic newspaper reported that if the Democrats win the mid-term elections next week and gain a majority in the House of Representatives, they will act to impeach Pete Guest, the US Secretary of War, and impeachment is one of the options being considered. However, even if the impeachment is approved by the House of Representatives, Hogst's impeachment requires the approval of two-thirds of the senators, which is unlikely to happen. Because of this, some Democrats are calling for extensive investigations, hearings and restrictions on the defense budget. The investigation of the casualties of the American forces and the damage to military bases in the war with Iran, the controversial attacks in the Caribbean Sea and the impeachment of senior commanders will be among the most important axes in the pursuit of the Democrats.
