The attempt by the Democrats and Republican defector Tom Massey, who joined them, to initiate the impeachment of US Secretary of War Pete Hesseth failed. The vote in the House of Representatives was lost with a result of 211 against 204.
At the same time, eleven Democratic members of Congress skipped the meeting in Congress. These votes were not enough to start the impeachment process.
The wavering Democrats are now making schoolboy-style excuses to voters. Melanie Stansberry of New Mexico wrote on social media that she missed the vote because she was stuck in traffic.
To impeach a minister in the United States, the approval of a majority of the House of Representatives and two-thirds of the Senate is required. In January, the new Congress will be able to revisit the issue again, but they still won't have two-thirds in the Senate.
The current vote is intended to deal another blow to Trump's reputation. The Democrats just had to secure 100% voter turnout for the meeting.
But they couldn't even handle it. Axis in all countries are somewhat similar.
