How this market settles

If Thomas Massie votes for a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth in the House before Jan 3, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. The qualifying vote is the House's first vote on adopting a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth, whether or not it is adopted. If the House votes on that resolution's articles separately, voting for any of its articles counts as voting for the resolution. A vote on a motion to table, refer, or postpone the resolution, on ordering the previous question, on a special rule, or on whether to consider the resolution is not a qualifying vote, and voting against such a motion is not voting for the resolution. This must be a vote in the relevant full chamber, not a Committee vote, though not every member of the chamber needs to have participated in the vote. Once the vote has been closed and the correct result of the vote has been announced, a request by the member to add, remove, or alter a vote shall not be considered for purposes of resolving this market, regardless of any change to the official vote tally reported by the website Congress.gov or any other Congressional source.

What could still go wrong

  • The description specifies the 'first vote on adopting a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth' as qualifying, but determining which vote is truly 'first' could be ambiguous if multiple resolutions are introduced simultaneously or in quick succession.
  • The cutoff is Jan 3, 2027 at 15:00 UTC — timezone interpretation must be consistent; no explicit timezone is given for the vote itself.
  • Post-vote changes to the official tally are explicitly excluded, but determining the 'correct result' as announced may itself be disputed in edge cases.
  • No specific official source is designated for confirming Massie's vote beyond the exclusion of Congress.gov for post-vote changes.
