Correct. Anybody else raising a question of privilege like this puts it on a two-day countdown. The minority leader has the perk that he can force the vote immediately, if he wants.
If Jeffries did think that the House should vote on impeaching Hegseth, he could have offered Massie’s resolution for him – it would then have to be considered immediately.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

Instead, get used to the standard dodge Jeffries & co. have already used several times now, that "impeachment is a super duper serious sacred process and we can't do it without many months of scrupulously thorough investigation first," which is wrong and stupid but that's his preferred excuse.

Putting it off until post-election could produce the funniest possible thing if Dems had the fortitude to all vote for it (they won't), because then you've got a bunch of lame ducks Rs in DGAF mode, of whom you only need to flip another two.
