Evidence

GovInfo’s introduced bill text lists Ms. Pettersen among the members submitting H. Res. 1177. The resolution sought impeachment, trial, and removal from office for Peter B. Hegseth.

Pettersen took concrete legislative action by joining the House impeachment resolution against Hegseth, which supports an effort badge but does not prove removal occurred.

The official department page, updated July 1, 2026, identifies HON Pete Hegseth as the current secretary and says he was sworn in on Jan. 25, 2025.

As of the assessment date, Hegseth remained in the Cabinet office, so the promise to remove him from office had not been fulfilled despite Pettersen’s impeachment effort.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

As of July 1, 2026, Pete Hegseth was still listed on the official department leadership page as the current secretary, so the promised removal had not occurred. Pettersen did materially pursue the outcome by joining H. Res. 1177, an impeachment resolution seeking Hegseth's removal, which supports an effort badge but not delivery.
