China News Service, Washington, November 10 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) The U.S. House of Representatives passed a procedural motion on the 10th, shelving a resolution aimed at impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth.

U.S. Republican Congressman Thomas Macy proposed a resolution on the 9th to push the House of Representatives to vote on the impeachment of Hegseth. This resolution lists a total of 8 articles of impeachment, 3 of which involve the war in Iran.

In a procedural vote held on the 10th, the House of Representatives voted 211 in favor and 204 against, deciding to submit the impeachment resolution to the committee for review, which actually prevented the relevant impeachment proceedings from continuing to advance during the current congressional term.

The vote was largely divided along party lines, with Macy being the only Republican congressman to join the Democrats in voting no.

That morning, Hegseth held a press conference at the Pentagon to respond to Congress's impeachment motion. He accused Messi of "a political farce".

After the results of the above-mentioned procedural vote were announced, U.S. President Trump stated through social media that this was the rectification of Hegseth's name, while accusing the Democratic Party of using impeachment as a political weapon.

Hegseth is not the first cabinet member to be impeached. The latest person to be impeached was Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Secretary under the Biden administration. In 2024, he was impeached by the House of Representatives over border security issues, but the Senate subsequently rejected all impeachment charges and did not enter a formal trial process. (over)
