ineligible

An Illinois court ruled Rahm Emanuel ineligible to run for mayor of Chicago. The state\’s Appellate Court in a 2-1 decision ordered that Emanuel\’s name be removed from the ballot. Opponents of the former White House chief of staff had said his two years in Washington disqualified him from running because the city\’s Board of Election Commissioners requires that a mayoral candidate live in Chicago for a year before the election, which takes place in February.
