During the seven hours of debate, not one Senator defended the Governor, said a report from the Chicago Tribune. Another unanimous vote banned him from ever again holding a public office, effectively ending the Governor&rsquo;s political career. Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn was shortly after sworn in as Governor.<br \/>  <!--more--> <br \/> Quinn will continue to serve as Governor until the next election. An outsider to so-called &ldquo;Chicago politics&rdquo;, Quinn vowed to end corruption, shrink the $5 billion budget deficit, and repair Illinois&rsquo; broken reputation. Quinn also vowed to reopen key historical sites which Blagojevich recently closed amidst budget crunches.&nbsp; &quot;The ordeal is over,&quot; said Quinn. &quot;In this moment, our hearts are hurt. And it&#8217;s very important to know that we have a duty, a mission to restore the faith of the people of Illinois in the integrity of their government.&quot; <\/p>\n<div id=\"holaa-2438211127\" class=\"holaa-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesperformingarts.org\/whats-on\/series\/summerarts\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"HI-SummerSeries-300&#215;250-SP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HI-SummerSeries-300x250-SP.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Governor Rod Blagojevich was formally impeached last week by a unanimous Illinois Senate vote of 59-0.
