Blagojevich was arrested Dec. 9 on charges accusing him of scheming to swap Obama's vacant Senate seat for profit, shaking down a hospital executive for campaign donations and other wrongdoing. The two-term Democratic governor has declared his innocence and says he will fight the charges. While Blagojevich has ignored repeated calls for his resignation, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn said Sunday he expects Blagojevich to be impeached and removed from office by the Illinois Legislature by Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial birthday celebration on Feb. 12. ___ Information from: Chicago Sun-Times,
