The Illinois House voted overwhelmingly Friday to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich, an unprecedented action that sets up a Senate trial on whether he should be thrown out for allegedly trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.
Impeachment required just 60 votes. The final result was 114-1.
Blagojevich was arrested on December 9, 2008 under suspicion that he was planning to either sell or trade the US Senate seat left vacant by President-Elect Barack Obama.
