The Ministry of Constitutional Housekeeping has a minor procedural inconvenience to report: Congressman Thomas Massie — a Republican, a lame-duck primaried out by a Donald Copperfield-backed challenger after Hegseth personally travelled to Kentucky to campaign against him — has forced a House vote to impeach the Defense Secretary of his own party, reading eight articles aloud on the floor for over an hour, because someone finally decided to write down what everyone spent the year politely not mentioning. The charges are a tidy summary of the age: waging war on Iran for over 90 days without authorization, ignoring the concurrent resolution both chambers passed in June directing withdrawal, treating a collapsed April ceasefire as a legal fiction that "reset the clock," 221 deaths from extrajudicial strikes on boats, the kidnapping of a sitting head of state in Caracas, an unauthorized war in Yemen, and censuring a senator for the sedition of telling troops they may refuse illegal orders.
