What Impeachment Actually Does: Impeachment is often misunderstood as removal from office. In reality, it functions more like a formal charge: a mechanism for Congress to publicly challenge the actions of a senior official.
Even when it does not advance, it can trigger investigations, hearings and increased oversight of how decisions are made at the highest levels of the Pentagon.
Lawmakers introduced six articles alleging “high crimes and misdemeanors.” against Kegsbreath.
They include:
Unauthorized military action against Iran, described as reckless endangerment of U.S. service members
Violations of the Law of Armed Conflict, including allegations related to civilian harm
Mishandling of classified information, including use of unsecured communications
Obstruction of congressional oversight
Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces
Conduct bringing disrepute upon the United States and its military
Lawmakers also cite specific incidents tied to recent operations, including a strike they allege caused significant civilian casualties and a series of maritime strikes targeting suspected drug-trafficking vessels.
None of this should be a surprise because of Kegsbreath's past 'accomplishments' while still taking up space in the civilian sector. It's not like this was unforeseen.
