House Cancels Votes, Cutting Week Short Before Adjourning Until After Midterms
Johnson sent lawmakers home for more than six weeks, delaying a privileged impeachment push and leaving Section 702 renewal unresolved.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled scheduled votes on Wednesday, sending Members home early until after Election Day and cutting the legislative work week short.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing unauthorized strikes in Iran that violated the War Powers Resolution.
- Massie's resolution lists 'high crimes and misdemeanors,' including an illegal campaign of extrajudicial killings that killed at least 230 people, while Johnson derided it as a 'publicity stunt.'
- Rep. Mike Levin claimed Johnson feared a successful impeachment vote, while Massie noted the cancellation hinders reaching 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before Nov.
- Lawmakers will be away for more than six weeks, delaying legislative action on regulation and surveillance until the House returns, though Johnson stated he would recall the chamber on 48-hours' notice if the Senate advances key legislation.
