Democratic Lawmaker Calls for Impeachment of Health Secretary Over Public Health Concerns
In a bold move, Representative Haley Stevens from Michigan has introduced articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of misusing his authority and jeopardizing public health. This unprecedented step highlights rising tensions over Kennedy’s controversial stance on vaccines and health policies.
During a video announcement, Stevens stated, “He must be removed,” emphasizing her belief that Kennedy’s actions threaten American safety. In her statement, she criticized Kennedy for abandoning scientific consensus, promoting misinformation, and increasing healthcare costs—actions she describes as a direct threat to public well-being.

Despite the strong rhetoric, the likelihood of the impeachment gaining serious momentum in Congress remains low, given the Republican majority and the absence of support from other Democratic members. Experts note that such political maneuvers often face significant hurdles without broad bipartisan backing.
Questions remain about the impact of this move on Kennedy’s career and public trust. As debates around vaccine policies intensify, this impeachment attempt underscores the deep divisions in U.S. health and political spheres.
