Impeached? Not yet. 211–204.

NPR reported that Thomas Massie reintroduced eight articles on Nov 9, 2026, after an earlier set lapsed when Speaker Johnson called an early recess. On Nov 10 the House voted 211–204 to send them to the Judiciary Committee.
The BBC said the referral effectively ends the effort this Congress. Massie was the only Republican voting against referral. Eleven Democrats were absent. Democrats could try again when they take the majority in January.
The BBC live account sketches the articles we will repeat without padding: article 5 is the boat strikes and “kill at least 243 people without judicial process.” Hegseth’s reply: “Thousands of American lives saved with every drug boat sunk.” Article 6 is retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly over a “refuse illegal orders” video; a judge blocked Kelly’s demotion. Article 7 is the Maduro capture, which Massie calls “an illegal kidnapping,” and which Hegseth says was “brought to justice.” Article 8 is Yemen and the Houthis. The remaining articles cover the Iran war without authorization.
