On January 14, 2009, the Illinois House of Representatives held their inauguration in Sangamon Auditorium for a second time. After the inauguration ceremony, the newly-sworn House renewed their vote to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich. The House had first voted on a motion to impeach the Governor the week before. It was decided that to insure the legality of the vote, the new House should vote again on the motion, which carried 117-1.
