The Lt. Governor of Illinois is Patrick Quinn. I have only read and heard good things about him so far. In his just completed news conference, he has urged Governor Blagojevich to either resign or step aside until this matter is settled. Illinois apparently does allow a governor to step aside like the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution, so that answers your question, conservative Dana.
Quinn also suggested that the Legislature change the law to force a special election to fill Obama’s Senate seat, much like Senator Dick Durbin did earlier today.
Here is some further information from the next Governor of Illinois.
