CHICAGO (CBS) ― Within hours of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's arrrest, state lawmakers were calling for impeachment proceedings to begin.
Democrat John Fritchey, told CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery that impeachment proceeedings will have to begin now.
Because the governor has not been convicted, he would still be empowered to appoint a senator to take the place of President-elect Barack Obama. With today's charges, lawmakers are concered about the legitimacy of any decision made by the governor.
The U.S. government is accusing Blagjojevich of putting the senate vacancy up to the highest bidder, among other pay-to-play politcal charges.
