| Description | Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn said he expects embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will be impeached by Feb. 12, when the state celebrates the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
“He disgraced himself, he’s disgraced the people of Illinois and the proper thing to do is to step aside and resign,” Quinn said in a Sunday interview on CBS’s "Face The Nation."
Quinn said that if he replaces Blagojevich as governor, he would urge that the Senate seat that had been held by President-elect Barack Obama be filled in a June special election. Until then, Quinn said he would push the state legislature to make a temporary appointment to fill the seat.
Quinn, who was nominated separately from Blagojevich in the primary, said he last spoke with the governor in August 2007.
