Statement summary
In a Reason column the day after the midterms, Healy argued that House Republicans should join a vote on Massie's articles of impeachment as a way to distance themselves from the Iran war, and that an impeachment could work as a form of constitutional censure even without removal by the Senate.
“After Tuesday's electoral shellacking, GOP members should be looking for clear opportunities to distance themselves from Trump's disastrous and unnecessary war. Here's their chance to do that”
On whether Hegseth should be impeached, Healy calls for the House to impeach him over the Iran war and urges Republicans to vote for Massie's articles. That supports impeachment.
Read Hegseth impeachment filings on military operations, oversight and Signal, the inspector general's findings, and his response to the claim he was 'texting war plans.'
