During a procedural vote, the US House of Representatives rejected an attempt to initiate impeachment proceedings against Secretary of War Pete Hesseth.
According to the online broadcast, 211 members of the US Congress voted in favor of transferring the initiative to a relevant committee. 201 voted against the decision. By the end of the year, both chambers of the US Congress are controlled by Republicans. Sending the bill to a relevant parliamentary committee with a Republican majority effectively means blocking it. Republican committee members will not allow the document to be passed before the end of the current congressional session.
