SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Gov. Rod Blagojevich was impeached Friday by Illinois lawmakers furious that he turned state government into a "freak show," setting the stage for an unprecedented trial in the state Senate that could get him thrown out of office. The 114-1 vote in the Illinois House came exactly a month after Blagojevich's arrest on charges that included trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. The debate took less than 90 minutes, and not a single legislator rose in defense of the governor, who was jogging in the snow in Chicago.

It's Lego hair. :mrgreen:
 
The Vote for impeachment does not count because the Illinois Senate will not act before the end of the Illinois Legislative term, in a few days.

The impeachmetn vote will not count for the new term. Another vote is required.

This impeachment vote was just puffing. No effect.
