Pete Guest's impeachment bid was stopped by the opposition vote of the Republicans.
The US House of Representatives, with a majority of Republicans, has stopped the impeachment process of Pete Guest, this country's defense secretary, who was brought up for his role in the war with Iran.
In a vote on Tuesday, November 10, representatives voted 211 to 204 to refer eight articles of impeachment to the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee; An action that effectively prevents the progress of the impeachment plan in the current term of Congress.
🔸Thomas Massey, a Republican representative of the state of Kentucky, introduced this plan due to a series of actions by the Secretary of Defense, including starting a war with Iran without congressional approval. He was the only Republican representative to vote against referring the bill to committee. Democratic representatives present at the vote also joined him.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, in response to the results of the vote, called the impeachment failure "disgraceful" and described it as "the vindication of a great American patriot." 🔸 The American media say that it is likely that with the start of the new Congress and the control of the Democrats in the House of Representatives in January, the impeachment proposal of Pete Haguest will be raised again.
