Congressman Biggs Votes to Stop Hegseth Impeachment

WASHINGTON, D.C. - This week, Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) voted to stop the impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed to proceed to final consideration.

"Impeachment is a constitutional remedy reserved for the gravest of offenses-high crimes and misdemeanors," said Congressman Biggs. "Much like the previous impeachment charades against President Trump, this effort to humiliate Secretary Hegseth reeks of political opportunism. Secretary Hegseth was afforded neither hearings nor due process. Instead, Democrats and others suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome rushed to pursue impeachment in hopes of scoring a cheap political victory. I am pleased that this political distraction was, at least temporarily, slowed. I call upon our Republican leadership in Congress to immediately send bills to the President's desk that reflect the will of the American people, such as the Coercion and Sexual Abuse Free Environment Act (a bipartisan bill protecting children from online predators), the Monitor Accountability Act (also a bipartisan bill to set clear rules for courts' use of federal monitors), and the Colorado River Basin Infrastructure Act (necessary to preserve the Colorado River for all Basin states)."
