Rod Blagojevich may be hours away from becoming only the eighth governor in U.S. history to be impeached and removed from office. The other seven:
William Holden of North Carolina, 1871
David Butler of Nebraska, 1871
William Sulzer of New York, 1913
James Ferguson of Texas, 1917*
John Walton of Oklahoma, 1923
Henry Johnston of Oklahoma, 1929
Evan Mecham of Arizona, 1988
POSTSCRIPT: Robert Yoon of CNN correctly notes that Ferguson resigned as governor of Texas on Aug. 25, 1917, the day before his conviction was announced.
