It may miss subsequent developments.** ## The question, as the venue words it Will Thomas Massie vote for a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth? ## 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. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 14 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - 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. ## Publication history - Published 9 November 2026; research dated 9 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief This is the first published brief for this event.
