Massie’s Impeachment Blocked by Early Adjournment | Wilmington News

Congressman Thomas Massie has filed eight impeachment articles against the Pentagon chief, but Speaker Mike Johnson’s surprise early adjournment—pushing the House out until after the midterms—is seen as a calculated move to dodge a vote. By sending lawmakers home, Johnson effectively sidesteps the need to vote on a motion to table, which would have allowed members to dismiss the impeachment without directly voting on it. Massie argues that if the House had stayed in session, the motion likely wouldn’t have passed, forcing a direct impeachment vote—a politically risky step some members might avoid. The adjournment, he insists, was designed to prevent that confrontation entirely.
