战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯面临两党弹劾威胁，这一情况将在下届国会复会后出现。此前共和党人在周二的中期选举中遭遇惨败，对此极为不满。
民主党在众议院和参议院取得历史性胜利，震惊全国，而两党对伊朗战争的不满情绪已酝酿数月，如今终于公开爆发。这股怒火很可能全部指向赫格塞斯，数位众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们相信弹劾他的决议最早下周就能通过。
“他完蛋了，”一名众议院共和党议员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
长期批评美国对外干预的肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他打算在下届国会复会后，在五角大楼长官赫格塞斯不肯先辞职的情况下，强行发起弹劾他的投票。

他将通过提交一项特权决议来实现这一目标，该机制旨在绕过多数党领导人的反对，推动立法投票。一旦提交特权决议，议员们有两个立法日的时间进行投票。

但这一程序明显包含两个步骤。在对决议本身进行投票前，议会领导人可以发起“搁置”法案或将其提交至相关委员会投票，这两种情况都会让决议彻底夭折。
通常，多数特权决议都会在这一程序性投票中被搁置。但在当前情况下，数位众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们认为弹劾决议最终可能获得通过。
共和党议员称应由更称职的官员领导五角大楼，质疑赫格塞斯的“道德底线”
“如果他提交弹劾，就会通过，”另一名众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。另外两名议员也表示他们预计结果会是如此。
一名共和党议员表示，出席率可能是弹劾赫格塞斯的关键因素。该人士称，大量竞选连任失败的共和党人极有可能不会在今年剩余两个月返岗。由于众议院共和党仅有微弱多数席位，只要有少数人缺席，且所有民主党人都立场一致，就足以让赫格塞斯遭到弹劾。
福克斯新闻决策组在周二午夜前不久预测民主党将拿下众议院控制权。预测显示，伊朗战争以及关税政策是导致选民背弃共和党的关键因素。

尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统告诉记者，他认为赫格塞斯“工作出色”，但他身边的人似乎已对其心生不满。
“赫格塞斯已身处险境，”一名前白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
一名现任白宫官员表示：“如果没有伊朗战争，（周二的选举）结果会大不相同。我相信你最终会看到（特朗普）追究皮特·赫格塞斯的责任，这一切将在跛脚鸭国会期间上演。”
“准备请律师”：共和党中期选举惨败之际，民主党立即向特朗普发出警告
但白宫周四批评了潜在的弹劾举动。
“正如总统所言，他愿意与任何人合作，为勤劳的美国人民持续争取胜利。如果民主党选择发起虚假调查并推行激进左翼政策，他们就是在选择与美国人民作对，”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
另一名白宫官员则表示：“如果疯狂的民主党人想滥用职权，将调查、传票以及破坏他人生活的过程政治化，应当提醒他们，我们仍掌控着联邦政府及其所有权力。”

五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔周三驳斥了特朗普可能亲自罢免赫格塞斯的传言。
“赫格塞斯部长不会退缩，也不会被那些试图捞取政治资本或发起毫无依据的虚假调查的政客吓倒。战争部一直遵守法律，我们的部长将继续每天坚守岗位、奋力抗争，以支持和捍卫宪法、领导军队以及保卫美国，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
同样值得注意的是，众议院共和党多数议员仍会反对弹劾赫格塞斯，许多人对此持怀疑态度。

“我对此深表怀疑，”另一名众议院共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这取决于是否有人愿意与即将卸任的总统唱反调。”
预计共和党人也会有相当一部分人支持这一弹劾举动。
即将出任众议院议长的纽约州民主党众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯一直批评赫格塞斯。他周四上午在X平台发帖称：“皮特·赫格塞斯为什么还在任？”

由于白宫在整个事件中从未寻求国会授权，立场更为温和的民主党人也表示支持弹劾。

“我早就说过，他不称职，应当被免职，我认为我们会着手推进此事，”预计明年将出任众议院军事委员会主席的华盛顿州民主党众议员亚当·史密斯上月在CNN的《今早》节目中表示。
如果赫格塞斯遭到弹劾，他将在美国参议院举行审判后才会被罢免。

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is facing a bipartisan impeachment threat when Congress returns next week as Republicans seethe over their devastating losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Bipartisan frustration over the war in Iran, quietly simmering for months, is now openly erupting after Democrats stunned the country with historic victories in the House and Senate. That anger could all now hit Hegseth, with several House Republicans telling Fox News Digital that they believe a resolution to impeach him could pass as early as next week.
“He’s screwed,” one House GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., a longtime critic of foreign intervention by the U.S., told Fox News Digital he intends to force a vote on impeaching Hegseth when Congress returns if the Pentagon chief does not resign first.
GOP REP THOMAS MASSIE INTRODUCES 8 ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST WAR SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH

He’ll do so by filing a privileged resolution, a mechanism aimed at getting a vote on legislation despite opposition from the majority party’s leaders. Once a privileged resolution is filed, lawmakers have two legislative days to hold a vote.

But the procedure notably carries two steps. Before a vote on the measure itself, leaders can call up a vote to “table” the bill or refer it to the relevant committee, which in both instances effectively kills it.
That procedural vote is normally where most privileged resolutions die. But in this case, several House Republicans told Fox News Digital they believe the impeachment resolution could ultimately be successful.
GOP LAWMAKER SAYS MORE QUALIFIED OFFICIALS SHOULD LEAD PENTAGON, QUESTIONS HEGSETH’S ‘MORAL COMPASS’
“If he introduces it, it’ll pass,” a second House Republican told Fox News Digital. Two more said they expected the same.
One GOP lawmaker said attendance could be a key factor in impeaching Hegseth. It’s highly possible that many Republicans who lost re-election simply do not return for the final two months of the year, that person said. And with just a razor-thin majority, only a handful of absences would be enough for Hegseth to get impeached if all Democrats stuck together.
The Fox News Decision Desk projected Democrats taking the House shortly before midnight on Tuesday. Projections showed that the war in Iran, along with tariff policies, were key drivers in voters turning their backs on the GOP.

And while President Donald Trump told reporters he believes Hegseth is doing “a good job,” people in his circle appear to have their knives out.
“Hegseth is on the chopping block,” a former White House official told Fox News Digital.
A current White House official said, “[Tuesday] would have looked very different without the Iran war. I believe you’ll ultimately see [Trump] hold Pete Hegseth accountable and that will play out in the lame duck.”

But the White House criticized the potential impeachment push on Thursday.
“As the President has said, he’s willing to work with anyone to continue delivering victories for hardworking Americans. If Democrats choose to pursue sham investigations and radical left policies, they are choosing to work against the American people,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.
And another White House official said, “If crazed Democrats want to abuse their power and politicize their process of investigations, subpoenas, and destroying lives, they should be reminded that we still control the federal government and all of its powers.”

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell on Wednesday dismissed rumors that Trump could get rid of Hegseth himself.
“Secretary Hegseth will not back down or be deterred by politicians seeking to score partisan points or launch phony investigations where no wrongdoing exists. The Department of War has followed the law and our Secretary will continue to stand and fight every single day to support and defend the Constitution, lead our troops, and protect America,” he told Fox News Digital.
It’s also worth noting that the majority of House Republicans will still oppose impeaching Hegseth — and many are still skeptical.

“I really doubt [it],” another House Republican told Fox News Digital. “Depends on if anyone wants to flip off the president walking out the door.”
There is likely to be healthy support on the other side of the aisle for such a push as well.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who is poised to become the next speaker, has consistently criticized Hegseth. He posted on X Thursday morning, “Why is Pete Hegseth still around?”

Even more moderate Democrats have signaled their support, given the administration did not seek the consent of Congress at any point during the ordeal.

“I’ve said a long, long time ago that he’s not qualified for the job, and he should be removed, and I think we’re going to pursue that,” Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., who is expected to take over leadership of the House Armed Services Committee next year, told CNN’s “This Morning” last month.
If Hegseth were impeached, he would not be removed before a trial in the U.S. Senate.
