Read the full assessment

This market resolves early to Yes upon an official announcement of resignation or removal, even if the effective departure date is scheduled for after the deadline. Resolution relies on official government statements or Pete Hegseth directly, but permits a consensus of credible reporting as a secondary source, introducing some discretion if reports conflict or if an announcement is unofficial. Aside from the early-trigger clause on mere announcements, the departure condition is straightforward.
