| Subject: Excellent! Blagojevich Removed From Office by Unanimous Vote Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:17 pm | |
| SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich became the first U.S. governor in 21 years to be removed from office in a vote by state lawmakers Thursday, two months after he was led from his home in handcuffs by federal authorities on suspicion of influence peddling.
The 59 Illinois senators voted unanimously to oust Mr. Blagojevich. Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Fitzgerald declared the two-term Democrat "convicted" shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday.
The senate then voted unanimously to bar Mr. Blagojevich from ever holding political office again in Illinois.
