Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Oversees Swearing-In of State Senate

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will be overseeing the swearing-in of the state’s new senate; a bizarre twist of fate as the chamber’s first order of business will be to determine whether or not they will remove Blagojevich from office.

Blagojevich was impeached by a vote of 114-1 on Friday following allegations that he illegally attempted to sell government services through bribes. The two-term Democrat was also accused of trying to sell the vacated Senate seat left behind by President-elect Barack Obama.

Blagojevich will preside over the Senate until the Democrats elect a majority leader. That leader will be John Cullerton of Chicago who will take the position from the retiring Emil Jones.

Cullerton has already said he hopes the impeachment trial, scheduled to begin Jan. 26, moves swiftly and finished by Feb. 4.
