    "Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, introduced a 34-page House resolution on Monday accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanours in eight articles. The measure alleges that Hegseth waged war against Iran without congressional authorization and abused the powers of his office. Those are allegations in Massie’s resolution, not findings established by the reports. [E1][E2]",
    "CBS News reported that three articles charge Hegseth with abusing Defense Department powers. The Week reported that the eight articles also allege unauthorized military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. This paper reported on 9 November that Massie planned to reintroduce a privileged impeachment resolution; the filing is the step that follows that plan. [E3][E5][E7]",
    "Massie introduced the measure on the House floor as an updated impeachment resolution, restarting a two-day clock for Republican leaders to schedule a vote, CBS News reported. The Week described the measure as privileged and said House Republican leadership must either bring it to the floor or try to table it within 48 hours. The resolution has been introduced; the cited reports do not describe a House impeachment vote or Hegseth’s removal from office. [E4][E6]"
