肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西周二在众议院议员席上提交了弹劾战争部长皮特·赫格斯瑟的决议,并宣读了针对赫格斯瑟的8项弹劾条款。

马西在众议院议员席上正式提出弹劾赫格斯瑟的决议,指控其犯有“重罪和轻罪”,其中包括被指在伊朗违反1973年《战争权力决议》,以及参与导致委内瑞拉前独裁者尼古拉斯·马杜罗被抓捕并引渡的行动。

马西提出的8项弹劾条款中的前三项指控赫格斯瑟违反1973年《战争权力决议》,称赫格斯瑟领导的战争部“正在发动对伊朗的战争,却没有宣战、没有法定授权、没有遭受美国攻击,也不存在迫在眉睫的威胁”。

他的第一项条款试图认定“这场战争从一开始就是非法的”。第二项条款声称,在众议院和参议院均下令从伊朗撤军后,赫格斯瑟违抗国会指令。第三项条款称,在《战争权力决议》规定的60天终止期限以及任何可能的30天撤军期限届满后,赫格斯瑟“仍在伊朗持续作战”。

第四和第五项条款指控赫格斯瑟拒绝减少平民伤亡,并参与法外处决,其中第二项具体指控赫格斯瑟在加勒比海打击疑似贩毒团伙的行动中“用未经授权的致命军事打击疑似毒贩的行动取代海上执法”。

同样与加勒比海和南美洲的军事行动有关,马西的第七项条款指控赫格斯瑟“绑架主权外国领导人”,因其在“绝对决心行动”中发挥了作用。这项1月的行动中,美国特种部队在加拉加斯抓捕并押解了委内瑞拉前独裁者尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯。马西的条款谴责赫格斯瑟“未经宪法或法律授权”实施该行动。

第六项条款指控赫格斯瑟利用职权压制亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利的言论自由,报复这位参议员发布的一段视频。视频中,凯利与其他多名议员一同出镜,批评者称该视频鼓励现役军人违抗合法命令。

最后一项条款指控赫格斯瑟在也门执行非法命令。该条款“指控赫格斯瑟部长在未经国会授权或美国面临迫在眉睫威胁的情况下启动‘粗骑手行动’,同时违反了战争权力报告要求。该条款还涉及大量平民死亡以及对民用物体、救援人员和其他受保护人员的非法打击”。

在众议院议员席上宣读了一个多小时的弹劾条款后,马西结束了他的提案介绍。

“在所有这些事件中,赫格斯瑟部长滥用了作为国防部长所受托的权力,将使用军事力量的宪法限制和规范作战行为的法律置于他自己的政策目标之上,”马西说道。

马西还补充称,赫格斯瑟“证明了如果继续留任,他仍将对平民、美国军事行动的合法开展、美国武装部队的完整性和公信力以及宪法构成威胁,其行为与他的职责和法治严重不符”。

马西表示,这“足以构成弹劾和审判、罢免公职以及取消其担任美国任何荣誉、信托或盈利职位的资格”。

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced a resolution to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and read eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on the House floor Tuesday.

Massie formally entered a resolution to impeach Hegseth for “high crimes and misdemeanors” on the House floor for, among other things, allegedly violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973 in Iran and for his role in the operation that led to former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro’s capture and extradition.

The first three of the eight articles of impeachment Massie introduced accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973, arguing that Hegseth’s Department of War is “waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war, statutory authorization, attack on the United States, or imminent threat.”

His first article seeks to establish “that the war was unlawful from its inception.” The second article claims that Hegseth disobeyed Congress after both the House and the Senate directed the removal of troops from Iran. The third article claims that Hegseth is “continuing hostilities in Iran after expiration of the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day termination period and any potential 30-day withdrawal period.”

The fourth and fifth articles accuse Hegseth of refusing to minimize civilian casualties and engaging in extrajudicial killing, with the latter charge accusing Hegseth of “replacing maritime law enforcement with unauthorized lethal military targeting of suspected drug traffickers” during operations striking suspected narcotraffickers in the Caribbean Sea.

Also related to military action in the Caribbean and South America, Massie’s seventh article accuses Hegseth of the “Kidnapping of a Sovereign Foreign Leader” for his role in Operation Absolute Resolve, the January mission in which U.S. Special Forces apprehended and extracted former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from Caracas. Massie’s article condemns Hegseth for doing so “without constitutional or legal authority.”

Article six accuses Hegseth of using his authority to suppress the free speech of Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., by retaliating against the senator for his video in which the senator joined a group of other lawmakers in a video which critics claimed encourage active military members to disobey lawful orders.

The final article charges Hegseth with carrying out unlawful orders in Yemen. The article “charges Secretary Hegseth with initiating Operation Rough Rider without congressional authorization or an imminent threat to the United States, while also violating war powers reporting requirements. It further addresses extensive civilian deaths and unlawful strikes on civilian objects, rescuers, and other protected persons.”

After reading out his articles for over an hour on the House floor, Massie closed out his introduction.

“In all of this, Secretary Hegseth abused the powers entrusted to him as Secretary of Defense by subordinating the constitutional limits on the use of military force and the laws governing the conduct of hostilities to his own policy objectives,” Massie said.

Massie also added that Hegseth “has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to civilians, the lawful conduct of United States military operations, the integrity and credibility of the United States Armed Forces and the Constitution, if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties, and the rule of law.

This, Massie said, “warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.”
