The 21-member committee began studying impeachment after the Democratic governor was arrested on a variety of federal corruption charges.
The panel based its recommendation on those charges and other allegations of misconduct by Blagojevich. They include evidence he circumvented state hiring laws, misspent tax money and expanded programs without proper authority.
If the House impeaches Blagojevich, the Senate would then conduct a trial on whether he should be removed from office.
