It’s absolutely irrelevant what 9 other states did. This is the Illinois Constitution.
How is it impeachable?
Well you are spending money that has not been authorized by the Legislature. That’s an impeachable offense. It doesn’t matter if it is a ‘good cause’–it’s a matter of whether the Constitution is followed.

Now picking a fight with Holland over CMS Audit. He claims to have stopped doing what Holland said to stop–the problem is that what he was doing was illegal and Blagojevich should have known that.
The basic point of the CMS audit was twofold. First, no one could document savings. Second, money was appropriated for the effort by the Executive Branch, not the Legislative Branch. Again, the Governor needs to read the Illinois Constitution if this isn’t clear to him.
Look he has convinced me. King Blagojevich! Abolish the General Assembly, abolish the Courts—Rod does everything and we all live happily ever after.
