Military Career

Enlistment and Early Service

Following law school, Hall chose to enlist in the U.S. Army, believing that military service was essential to understanding the sacrifices required of those who defend the nation. He began his military career at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he completed Officer Candidate School (OCS) and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.

Key Assignments and Deployments

Hall’s military career was marked by rigorous training and deployments in challenging environments. Over his two-decade-long service, Hall specialized in strategic operations, counterinsurgency tactics, and disaster response. Key aspects of his career included:

1. Ranger School and Special Operations:

Hall graduated from the grueling U.S. Army Ranger School, earning his Ranger Tab and joining the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. He led numerous platoon-level operations, including high-risk missions in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Global War on Terror.

2. Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Operations:

Hall participated in humanitarian efforts, including disaster relief following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. His role involved coordinating logistics for aid delivery and rebuilding infrastructure in affected regions.

3. Counterinsurgency and Intelligence Work:

Later in his career, Hall was assigned to intelligence and strategic planning roles, focusing on counterinsurgency in the Middle East. He became an expert in cross-cultural relations, advising commanders on strategies to engage local populations and reduce conflict.

Philosophy of Service

Throughout his service, Hall emphasized collaboration and ethical decision-making. He believed in leading by example, often placing himself on the frontlines alongside his troops. Though he never sought personal recognition, his dedication earned him the respect of his peers and subordinates.

Hall retired from the military as a Lieutenant Colonel. His experience profoundly shaped his worldview, instilling in him a deep respect for discipline, accountability, and the importance of service.

Transition to Politics

After retiring from the military as a Lieutenant Colonel, Hall sought to continue serving his country through politics. His campaign for Congress in Utah’s 3rd District was built on a platform of fiscal responsibility, clean energy innovation, and support for veterans.

Early Political Career

Hall’s grassroots campaign emphasized direct engagement with constituents. He won his first election by a narrow margin, quickly gaining a reputation as a pragmatic leader willing to work across party lines. His military background lent credibility to his positions on national security, while his legal expertise made him a respected voice on constitutional issues.

Legislative Achievements

Clean Energy and Innovation Act

As a congressman, Hall introduced the Clean Energy and Innovation Act, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at addressing climate change while boosting economic growth.

Provisions of the Act:

• $3 Billion for Renewable Energy Investment: Funding large-scale solar, wind, and hydroelectric projects.
• $1 Billion for Research and Development: Advancing energy storage solutions, carbon capture technologies, and public-private partnerships to accelerate clean energy innovation.
• Job Training Programs: Preparing workers for careers in the renewable energy sector through technical schools and apprenticeship opportunities.
• Tax Incentives: Offering credits to homeowners and businesses for adopting clean energy systems. The Act was praised for its ambitious goals and comprehensive framework, but it faced criticism from some Republicans who opposed its cost and government intervention in energy markets.

American Economic Opportunity and Resilience Act

Hall also championed the American Economic Opportunity and Resilience Act, which invested $100 billion in infrastructure, small businesses, and community resilience.

Key Features of the Act:

• Allocating $50 billion to modernize roads, bridges, and digital infrastructure, with a focus on renewable energy integration.
• Providing $20 billion in grants and low-interest loans to small businesses, particularly in underserved communities.
• Expanding education and workforce programs to address labor shortages in high-demand industries.
• Funding affordable housing and disaster preparedness projects.

Judicial Career

Matteo eventually became a Magistrate Judge under Spencer Barrett's tenure as Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Hall’s legal acumen led to his appointment as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. During his tenure, he was known for his balanced and principled approach, often emphasizing judicial restraint and respect for constitutional precedent.

Impeachment of Chief Justice Donald Tremp

Hall gained national attention for his bold decision to draft articles of impeachment against Chief Justice Donald Tremp. The resolution, known as House Resolution 491, cited Tremp’s:

• Abuse of Judicial Authority: Refusing circuit-riding requests and dismissing judicial backlogs.
• Cognitive Decline: Publicly admitting to forgetting essential judicial procedures.
• Unprofessional Conduct: Using inappropriate language in court and undermining the decorum of his office.
• Violation of Judicial Ethics: Allegations of driving under the influence and tarnishing the judiciary’s reputation.

Hall’s resolution divided Congress. Some praised his commitment to accountability, while others accused him of politicizing the judiciary. Despite the controversy, Hall defended his actions:

“The rule of law must apply to all, regardless of rank. Chief Justice Tremp’s actions have eroded public trust in our judiciary and demand a response.”

Later Career and Removal as President Pro Tempore

Hall’s tenure as President Pro Tempore of the Senate ended abruptly in October 2024 after a power struggle with fellow Republican Lucas Bennett. Hall alleged that Bennett orchestrated his removal to consolidate power. His resignation speech highlighted ongoing rifts within the Republican Party:
