Congress returns with a short window and a long to-do list. The biggest issues include a possible impeachment vote against Pete Hegseth, avoiding a government shutdown, leadership elections, and preparing for one of the largest incoming freshman classes in modern congressional history. The session also serves as the final chapter of Republican control before Democrats take over both chambers in January. 

The significance of the story is historical as much as political: if the House impeaches Hegseth, he would become only the third Cabinet secretary ever impeached by the House of Representatives. Whether he joins William Belknap and Alejandro Mayorkas on that short list will likely be decided during the current lame-duck session of Congress.
