[US House Democrats Push for Impeachment of Defense Secretary] US House Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari said on April 6 that she will impeach US Defense Secretary Hegsesth next week over the war with Iran. Ansari accuses Hegsesth of repeatedly violating his oath of office and constitutional duties. She pointed out that only Congress has the power to declare war. She also stated that the US is escalating a devastating and illegal war, and that Hegsesth is an accomplice in this war. According to US media reports, because Republicans control both houses of Congress, and impeachment of government officials requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate, Ansari's push to impeach Hegsesth is "extremely unlikely to succeed."
