This appears to be why Madigan can petition the Illinois Supreme Court |
|
But still unclear on the rule or opinion she is relying. Could not find an Illinois law that covers the removal either.
Illinois Constitution
SECTION 6. GUBERNATORIAL SUCCESSION
(d) The General Assembly by law shall specify by whom and by what procedures the ability of the Governor to serve or to resume office may be questioned and determined. The Supreme Court shall have original and exclusive jurisdiction to review such a law and any such determination and, in the absence of such a law, shall make the determination under such rules as it may adopt.

checked their Rules and the archived opinions. But, IMO their search engine is lacking.
Maybe you will have better luck.
