U.S. President Barack Obama's former chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is used to ramming legislation through Congress on the Commander-in-Chief's behalf, from the comfort of the White House in Washington, D.C.
However, in an odd electoral twist, he has been rammed off the mayoral ballot in Chicago, Illinois, after a two judge panel ruled he is ineligible for failing to meet the minimum one year residency requirement. Emanuel intends to appeal the decision by lodging a complaint with the Illinois Supreme Court.
