The Illinois House of Representatives has the sole power to start impeachment proceedings in Illinois. Once the impeachment process is started, it ends with a trial in the Senate. If convicted, the person is removed from office.
Please reference an on-line newspaper (Rockford Register Star) article at the following url: http://www.rrstar.com/homepage/x415882357/Governors-impeachment-is-a-political-process The article appears to show that the Illinois House is like a Grand Jury. If the Illinois House's investigative panel shows enough evidence that the official is guilty then impeachment proceedings are pased to the Illinois Senate for Trial. Basically, this sounds like a 2 step process (Grand Jury at the Illinois House and a trial at the Illinois Senate). You would think that a politician/official would resign before the impeachment proceedings reach the Illinois Senate.
Patrick Quinn succeeded Rod Blagojevich upon his impeachment and conviction in the state senate.
