华盛顿电 — 众议院于周二否决了共和党议员托马斯·马西发起的对国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的弹劾提案,否决的主要原因是伊朗战争问题。
众议院以211票对204票的投票结果决定将该决议转交司法委员会,实际上将其驳回。马西是唯一一位与所有民主党议员一起投票反对该提案的共和党人。尽管共和党人对赫格塞斯在已进入第9个月的战争中的处理方式感到不满,但许多人认为他的行为并未达到需要弹劾的程度。
来自肯塔基州的共和党人马西表示,他不会再提出针对赫格塞斯的弹劾决议。他将于今年年初的党内初选失利后卸任。民主党人仍可推动此事,尤其是在1月重新控制参众两院之后。
该弹劾决议指控赫格塞斯滥用职权,具体包括:未经国会批准发动伊朗战争、无视旨在减少平民伤亡的法律、下令五角大楼在加勒比地区发动船只袭击的法外处决、下令绑架委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗,以及报复民主党参议员马克·凯利等多项指控。
赫格塞斯在周二上午的新闻发布会上谴责了弹劾举动,称其为一场“闹剧”和“政治作秀”。
“这些都不是重罪或轻罪,”赫格塞斯辩称,“它们只是那些想将我们的军队政治化的人的党派性政策分歧。”
在美国历史上,仅有两名内阁部长遭到弹劾。战争部长威廉·贝尔纳普于1876年因腐败丑闻遭到弹劾,国土安全部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯则于2024年因处理南部边境事务遭到弹劾。贝尔纳普被参议院宣告无罪,而马约卡斯的指控则被驳回。

House blocks Massie’s effort to impeach Hegseth, voting to kill resolution
November 10, 2026 / 6:05 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — The House on Tuesday blocked an effort led by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, largely over the war with Iran.
The House voted 211 to 204 to refer the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, effectively killing it. Massie was the lone Republican to vote with all Democrats against it. Though Republicans have been frustrated with Hegseth’s handling of the war that has stretched into its ninth month, many did not think his conduct rose to the level of impeachment.
Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said Monday he would not bring up another resolution to impeach Hegseth. He is retiring in early January after losing his primary earlier this year. Democrats could still force the issue, especially when they retake control of both chambers in January.
The impeachment resolution accused Hegseth of abusing his office by launching the Iran war without congressional approval, ignoring laws designed to minimize civilian casualties, directing extrajudicial killings for the Pentagon’s boat strikes in the Caribbean, directing the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and retaliating against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, among other allegations.
In a news conference Tuesday morning, Hegseth denounced the impeachment effort, calling it a “farce” and “political spectacle.”
“None of these are high crimes or misdemeanors,” Hegseth argued. “They’re partisan policy disagreements from people who want to politicize our military.”
Only two Cabinet secretaries in U.S. history have been impeached. Secretary of War William Belknap was impeached over a corruption scandal in 1876, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached over his handling of the southern border in 2024. Belknap was acquitted by the Senate, while Mayorkas had his charges dismissed.
