The Republican Representative of Kentucky presented the impeachment resolution against Secretary of War Pete Hegst of Donald Trump’s administration due to his role in the war against Iran and the US military attacks in Yemen and Venezuela, and initiated the process of removing one of the senior figures of the Trump administration.
On Monday local time, “Thomas Messi” presented an eight-point resolution to impeach Pete Hegst, the US Secretary of War, due to his role in the war against Iran and the US military attacks in Yemen and Venezuela, demanding his impeachment and removal; This action has been taken following the increasing criticism of the consequences of the Iran war and the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections.
According to IRNA, citing the Associated Press, Thomas Messi on Monday presented the impeachment resolution against Pete Hegst in the US House of Representatives, paving the way for a vote on the removal of the Secretary of War of the Donald Trump administration. The vote is expected to be held by Wednesday.
This resolution mainly focuses on the US war against Iran and also focuses on Hegst’s role in the implementation of US military attacks in Yemen and Venezuela.
According to the report of CBS News, Messi’s 34-page resolution contains eight points of impeachment, in three of which Hegst is accused of abusing the powers of the Ministry of Defense by starting a war against Iran without obtaining the authorization of Congress.
In another axis of this resolution, Hegst is accused of ignoring the laws related to reducing civilian casualties during the war and the attack on a school in Iran is mentioned. American attacks on boats in the Caribbean region, the Pentagon’s role in the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, the president of Venezuela, and dealing with Mark Kelly, a US senator, due to his statements about the need for the military to refrain from carrying out illegal orders, are also among the other axes of this plan.
Massey has argued that Hogst, if he continues in office, will continue to be a threat to the US Constitution and that his performance is inconsistent with the legal duties of the office.
CNN also says: The House of Representatives of the United States Congress will vote on Wednesday to impeach Pete Hegst, the US Secretary of War, but the US Secretary of War claims that there are political motives behind the attempts to remove him.
By presenting the resolution of impeachment, Massey has put the Republicans in front of the decision of whether they support the removal of a prominent figure of the administration of Donald Trump or whether the new congress controlled by the Democrats will remove him.
