Kristi Noem no longer serves as South Dakota governor or Homeland Security secretary, having been dismissed from the latter role in March 2026 after congressional scrutiny over agency operations and contracting practices. Democratic lawmakers introduced articles of impeachment in January and October citing obstruction of Congress, public trust violations, and self-dealing, yet these measures remain stalled in committee without Republican backing required for House passage and Senate conviction. State constitutional procedures apply only to sitting officials, and no active proceedings target her current status. Partisan majorities and historical precedent for cabinet removals further limit prospects, though unexpected legal findings or late-session votes before December 31 could still shift outcomes.
This market will resolve to “Yes“ if the US House of Representatives, by simple majority vote, approves or passes one or more articles of impeachment of United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Neither trial nor conviction by the US Senate, nor removal from office, is necessary to resolve this market to “Yes“. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the federal government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting will be used.
