No. Pete Hegseth has not been impeached. The House has not adopted any impeachment resolution against him, and on November 10, 2026, it voted 211 to 204 to refer the most recent one, H.Res. 1655, to committee instead of voting on the resolution itself.
Three impeachment resolutions naming Hegseth have been filed in the 119th Congress. A search of the House resolution status records published by the Government Publishing Office, read on November 12, 2026, found no others, and none of the three has passed the House.
What happened on November 10, 2026
The status record for H.Res. 1655, titled "Impeaching Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, for high crimes and misdemeanors", lists these floor actions, all on November 10, 2026:
- Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, rose to a question of the privileges of the House and offered the resolution. The Chair determined that it did constitute a question of the privileges of the House.
- Rep. Issa, Republican of California, moved to refer the resolution to the Judiciary Committee.
- The House agreed to the motion to refer by the yeas and nays, 211 to 204, in Roll Call 317. A motion to reconsider was then laid on the table without objection.
A vote to refer sends a resolution to a committee. It is not a vote on whether to impeach.
How the House voted
The Clerk of the House recorded Roll Call 317 at 6:02 p.m. Eastern time on November 10, 2026, on the question "On Motion to Refer". A yea was a vote to send the resolution to committee.
| Party | Yea | Nay |
|---|---|---|
| Republican | 210 | 1 |
| Democratic | 0 | 203 |
| Independent | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 211 | 204 |
Eighteen members did not vote: 7 Republicans and 11 Democrats. The Clerk's record lists Massie, the resolution's sponsor, as the one Republican who voted nay. Which party holds the majority is covered in Which party controls Congress?
The three impeachment resolutions
| Resolution | Submitted | Latest action |
|---|---|---|
| H.Res. 935, Rep. Shri Thanedar, Democrat of Michigan | December 9, 2025 | Referred to the House Judiciary Committee, December 9, 2025 |
| H.Res. 1177, Rep. Yassamin Ansari, Democrat of Arizona | April 15, 2026 | Referred to the House Judiciary Committee, April 15, 2026 |
| H.Res. 1655, Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky | November 10, 2026 | Motion to refer agreed to, 211 to 204, November 10, 2026 |
The status record for H.Res. 935 lists 1 cosponsor, the record for H.Res. 1177 lists 18, and the record for H.Res. 1655 lists none. The full texts of H.Res. 935 and H.Res. 1177 are published by the Government Publishing Office. The articles in them are allegations made by the members who submitted them. The House has not voted on any of the articles.
What it would take to impeach him
The Senate's page on impeachment quotes the Constitution: the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment", and the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. H.Res. 1177 would, if the House agreed to it, declare him impeached and send its articles to the Senate, as the text of H.Res. 1177 shows. Because the House has agreed to none of the three resolutions, no articles have gone to the Senate and no trial has been held.
This page will be updated at this address if the House or the Judiciary Committee acts on any of the resolutions.
