Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has sued the state of Illinois for prohibiting him from running for office, FOX 32 reported Monday.
The Democratic governor of Illinois was impeached in January 2009 for corruption. The Illinois State Senate voted to prohibit him from running for statewide office again mere moments after unanimously convicting him, CNN reported.
“That resolution is the handiwork of a rigged impeachment process engineered by Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan,” Blagojevich said outside the courthouse on Monday, where he filed his lawsuit against the ban, FOX 32 reported.
“That’s unconstitutional to pass a law against one person that he or she can’t run for anything,” Blagojevich told ABC7. “I could legally run for President of the United States, but I can’t run for alderman of the 33rd Ward.”
