House-floor introduction restarts two-day scheduling clock
Representative Thomas Massie introduced updated impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on November 9, restarting a two-day clock for House leaders to schedule a vote, CBS reports. Massie’s office describes eight articles, including allegations of violations of congressional war-powers requirements. Those allegations are not established findings. The development advances the effort from an anticipated resolution to House-floor introduction; the reports do not establish House approval. Hegseth defended the administration’s military actions and announced a Tuesday news conference, according to AP. The timestamp records CBS’s original publication metadata, rather than the floor action’s exact time. Assessment window: November 8, 2026, 19:25:36.682 UTC–November 9, 2026, 19:25:36.682 UTC.
