                   IMPEACHING SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH

  (Mr. THANEDAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, this week, I introduced articles to 
impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth for murder and conspiracy to murder and 
reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information.
  From issuing orders to kill everybody onboard a small boat with no 
evidence of any wrongdoing to launching a follow-up strike to finish 
off survivors barely clinging onto life, his actions are not just 
reprehensible but illegal as well.
  He also put the lives of our own troops in danger by leaking 
classified war plans in an unauthorized Signal chat. Former military 
attorneys have come out and asserted that his actions have risen to the 
level of war crimes.
  Mr. Hegseth must resign from his position or be impeached by this 
House.
