肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西——一名在初选中输给特朗普支持的挑战者的议员——于周二对国防部长皮特·赫格斯泰特提出弹劾条款,指控他在伊朗战争期间违抗国会、压制言论自由以及其他多项不当行为。

“在这一切当中,赫格斯泰特部长的行事方式违背了他作为国防部长所应承担的职责,破坏了宪政政府,极大损害了法治与正义事业,并对美利坚合众国人民造成了明显伤害,”马西周二在众议院发言时说道。

作为国会中最反对干预主义的议员之一,马西提出的八项弹劾条款指控赫格斯泰特违反了1973年《战争权力决议》。该法案旨在限制总统未经立法机构同意就卷入武装冲突的权力。

根据这项越战时期出台的法律,如果国会未批准战争宣言,政府必须在部署军队投入敌对行动后的48小时内向国会报告。任何未经授权的军事行动时限为60天,另有30天的撤军窗口。伊朗战争于2月底爆发,但特朗普政府称针对伊朗的初始军事行动“史诗之怒行动”已于5月初结束。

众议院已通过多项法案,根据《战争权力决议》限制特朗普总统对伊朗发动打击的权力,但这些举措大多未能在共和党掌控的参议院推进。特朗普于7月10日通知国会,在他宣布为期一个月的停火“结束”后,针对伊朗的“军事行动”已正式重启。特朗普辩称,他无需国会批准即可对伊朗开战,并称《战争权力决议》违宪。

根据周二提交的动议,众议院必须在未来两天内就弹劾条款进行投票。但在共和党控制的国会中,这些条款几乎不可能获得通过。马西表示,他没有告诉任何人自己计划提出弹劾条款,因为共和党领导层“可能会取消部分投票日”。

“在上述通报后的60天内,国会并未,至今也仍未通过任何针对伊朗敌对行动中使用美国武装力量的宣战宣言或具体法定授权,也未依法延长适用的60天时限,尽管国会仍有能力履行其宪法职责并付诸行动,”马西在弹劾条款中写道。

马西还指控赫格斯泰特无视在伊朗境内减少平民伤亡的相关法律,特别提到战争爆发后不久美军轰炸了伊朗的一所女子学校。3月份的初步评估发现,美国“很可能”是此次袭击的责任方,但并非故意以该学校为目标。

在另一项弹劾条款中,马西矛头直指赫格斯泰特罢免亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利的举动。凯利是退役海军上校,此前曾呼吁军人“拒绝非法命令”。

马西指控赫格斯泰特“滥用所赋予的权力,报复一名因行使受宪法保护言论权的国会议员,并试图让对等政府部门的成员因履行其立法和监督职责而受到行政分支的惩罚”。

除针对伊朗的指控外,马西还提出了与特朗普政府在加勒比地区打击船只、“绑架主权外国领导人”(指逮捕前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗)以及打击胡塞武装分子和也门目标相关的弹劾条款。

马西已成为特朗普外交政策的主要反对者之一,经常与民主党人一起参与高关注度投票。特朗普为马西所在的肯塔基州选区推举了一名初选挑战者,该挑战者在5月初的初选中获胜。

当被问及对马西的弹劾决议置评时,五角大楼新闻主任金斯利·威尔逊称赫格斯泰特是一位“变革型领导人”,他“削减了官僚主义、激发了创新,并始终如一地为我们的作战人员谋福祉”。

“整个国防部都支持这位部长的愿景,并将继续致力于将我们的作战人员和美国放在首位,”威尔逊说道。

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who lost a primary to a Trump-backed challenger, introduced articles of impeachment Tuesday against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of defying Congress during the Iran war, suppressing free speech and other offenses.

“In all of this, Secretary Hegseth has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as Secretary of Defense and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States of America,” Massie said Tuesday on the House floor.

The eight articles of impeachment introduced by Massie, who is one of the most anti-interventionist members of Congress, accuse Hegseth of violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which provides a check on the president’s power to enter armed conflict without consent from the legislative branch.

Under the Vietnam War-era law, the administration must report to Congress within 48 hours of deploying forces into hostilities if Congress hasn’t authorized a declaration of war. Any unauthorized engagement is capped at 60 days, with an additional 30-day window to withdraw. The Iran war began in late February, though the Trump administration has said Operation Epic Fury — the military’s term for the initial operation against Iran — ended in early May.

The House has approved several measures to limit President Trump’s power to strike Iran under the War Powers Resolution, but most of those efforts have failed to advance in the GOP-led Senate. Mr. Trump notified Congress on July 10 that “military action” against Iran had formally restarted after he declared a monthlong ceasefire “over.” Mr. Trump has argued he doesn’t need congressional approval for the Iran war and called the War Powers Resolution unconstitutional.

Under Tuesday’s motion, the House must vote on the impeachment articles in the next two days. The articles are extremely unlikely to advance in a Republican-controlled Congress. Massie said he did not tell anyone that he planned to introduce impeachment articles because GOP leadership “might have canceled” some voting days.

“In the 60-day period following said transmission, Congress did not, and still has not, enacted any declaration or specific statutory authorization for the use of United States armed forces in hostilities against Iran, or extended the applicable 60-day period by law, despite remaining physically capable of meeting and carrying out its constitutional responsibilities,” Massie said in the articles of impeachment.

Massie also accused Hegseth of ignoring laws to minimize civilian casualties in Iran, specifically mentioning the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran shortly after the war began. A preliminary assessment in March found the U.S. was “likely” responsible for the strike, but did not intentionally target the school.

In another one of the articles of impeachment, Massie took aim at Hegseth’s move to demote Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a retired Navy captain, after Kelly called on service members to “refuse illegal orders.”

Massie accused Hegseth of abusing the “powers entrusted to him by retaliating against a member of Congress for constitutionally protected speech, and attempting to subject a member of a coordinate branch of government to executive branch punishment for the exercise of his legislative and oversight responsibilities.”

In addition to the accusations about Iran, Massie also included articles of impeachment related to the Trump administration’s strikes on boats in the Caribbean, “kidnapping a sovereign foreign leader” with the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and strikes on Houthi militants and Yemen.

Massie had become a key antagonist of Mr. Trump’s foreign policy, frequently joining Democrats in high-profile votes. Mr. Trump backed a primary challenger in Massie’s Kentucky district, who won the May primary.

Asked for comment on Massie’s impeachment resolution, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson called Hegseth a “transformative leader” who has “slashed bureaucracy, unleashed innovation, and delivered for our warfighters every step of the way.”

“The entire Department is unified behind the Secretary’s vision and will continue working to put our warfighters and America first,” Wilson said.
