It highlights his alleged use of undisclosed influencer payrolls within the Pentagon, which may violate 10 U.S.C. 2241a and trigger the Antideficiency Act. The piece outlines multiple legal avenues for accountability, including congressional investigations by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), mandatory disclosure of appointment records by the Defense Department’s inspector general, and potential impeachment proceedings under Article II, Section 4. Key concerns include unauthorized strikes against small boats in the Caribbean, mishandling of sensitive military information, obstruction of congressional oversight, and violations of the law of armed conflict. The article emphasizes that while impeachment is a rare option, it could force evidence into the public record even without conviction. It also notes Hegseth’s potential presidential ambitions and calls for action by constituents to demand transparency and accountability from Congress.
