Two cases, counted from the day each was sent to committee
Same move, other party. In 2023, 201 of the 209 votes to send the Mayorkas articles to committee came from Democrats. On Nov. 10, 2026, 210 of the 211 votes to send the Hegseth articles came from Republicans.
Rep. Clark (D-Mass.) made the 2023 motion; Rep. Issa (R-Calif.) made this one. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) sponsored the Hegseth articles.
Tap Sent, Nov. 13, 2023: the same kind of vote, with the parties reversed.
Sent to committee: passed, 211 to 204
- By party
- Every Democrat who voted opposed sending it. Rep. Kiley of California, listed as an independent in the Clerk's record, voted to send it. 18 members did not vote.
- What it means
- A yes vote sent the resolution to the Judiciary Committee. It did not impeach Hegseth.
Ringed: Massie, the sponsor. He was the one Republican against sending it.
| Party | Send to committee | Against sending it | Present | Did not vote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Republican | 210 | 1 | 0 | 7 |
| Democratic | 0 | 203 | 0 | 11 |
| Independent | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Twice before
Of the 22 impeachments on the House's list (retrieved Nov. 11, 2026), two were of cabinet secretaries. Belknap resigned minutes before the House voted on Mar. 2, 1876. The Senate tried him anyway; a majority voted to convict on all five articles, short of the two-thirds needed, so he was acquitted. Mayorkas's case is on the timeline above.
What happens now
As of Nov. 11, 2026, Hegseth remains Secretary of Defense.
The resolution sits with the House Judiciary Committee. We found no schedule for it.
