Will Peter Hegseth be dismissed as Minister of Defense?

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was embroiled in a public and political backlash Tuesday against calls for his possible removal from office. During his first Pentagon press conference in six months, Hegseth slammed the initiative by outgoing Republican Representative Thomas Massie, claiming the move undermines US troops on the ground over “political disagreements” rather than serious constitutional crimes.

Congressman Massie's initiative comes immediately after the losses suffered by Republicans in the midterm elections, where a significant portion of public opinion and lawmakers have attributed the result to dissatisfaction with the military conflict with Iran and its impact on the global economy.

The resolution introduced in the House of Representatives focuses on the conduct of military operations in Iran, as well as actions taken in Yemen against Houthi rebels and operations in Venezuela.

In his defense, the Pentagon chief argued that the attempted dismissal constitutes a real-time blow to the armed forces. According to Hegseth, the resolution sends a message to international opponents that “the United States will punish its combatants and its civilian leadership for successfully conducting lawful military operations,” calling the action not patriotism but “sabotage.”

The move has prompted immediate reactions from political leadership in Washington. President Donald Trump offered his full support to the Secretary of Defense in a post on social media, praising Hegseth's performance and attacking the resolution's initiator.

For his part, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, called the procedure "a political game for attention," predicting its overthrow by the parliamentary majority.

The effort marks a rare instance in American political history where a member of the presidential cabinet faces impeachment proceedings. As constitutional debate continues over what constitutes a “high crime or misdemeanor,” the House vote is expected to be a test midweek, reflecting domestic tensions over U.S. military strategy in the Middle East.
