Blagojevich ousted


The Illinois state senate unanimously voted to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office. Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges in December. Federal authorities allege, among other things, that he was trying to sell or trade the Senate seat that became vacant after Barack Obama was elected president. Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn will replace him.
