If this vote happened and Hegseth was impeached, couldn’t Trump and the current GOP Senate just back-fill his cabinet position before January with no opposition from Democrats?
In other words, wouldn’t it be better to impeach after Democrats have control of Senate where there is a 51 confirmation requirement?
It doesn’t matter it takes 67 senate votes to convict, he can’t be removed either now or later. The point of the vote was whether Massie gets to make everybody in the House go on record voting whether they support illegally starting two wars, murdering 200 elementary school children, and massacring Caribbean fishermen under no quarter. Which is why a lot of these Democrats sat it out, they were the ones cheering Hegseth on when he did all that shit and don’t want to have to stand by it now that they’ve noticed the peasants are unhappy.
