136. During his administration, President Blago was investigated for various corruption charges. He was finally impeached for abuse of power and corruption. Immediately after his impeachment, President Blago resigned, went on a whirlwind media blitz proclaiming his innocence, and returned to private life. Vice President Quinn became President. Still upset about being impeached, former President Blago hoped that President Quinn would issue a pardon that would erase his impeachment. Will President Quinn pardon former president Blago for being impeached?
