Possible vote on the impeachment of Pete Hegseth tonight: how exceptional is that? And what happens next?

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote tonight on the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth due to alleged violations of law. Hegseth faces eight articles of impeachment, including accusations of unauthorized military actions in Iran and other countries. The impeachment process begins in the House and requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate for removal. While the House may support the impeachment, the Senate's approval is uncertain, as no president or cabinet member has been successfully removed through this process. Former President Trump continues to support Hegseth, despite some Republican discontent regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran.
