ILL. House Committee Recommends Impeachment of Gov. Blagojevich
EmailABC News’ Chris Bury reports: The special Illinois House committee investigating Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has unanimously recommended that the full House impeach Blagojevich for "abuse of power."
The committee cites a litany of corruption allegations, including the attempted sale of President-elect Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat, extortion of Children’s Memorial Hospital, extortion of the Chicago Tribune and various other "pay to play" schemes.
The Illinois House, which has been called to a special session, will now consider impeachment as early as Friday.
If the House votes to impeach, the state Senate then would conduct a trial presided over by the chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. That trial could begin as early as Jan. 26.
In the state Senate trial, impeachment managers and Blagojevich would have the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence.
If convicted by the Illinois Senate, Blagojevich would be removed from office and Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn would become acting governor.

Sound an alarm when you find someone in Illinois who cares how crooked their government is.
