Former Illinois First Lady Patti Blagojevich has posted a Facebook message about this day: her husband Rod's birthday.

Patti Blagojevich wrote Tuesday: "Today is my husband's 63rd birthday and as a present to him, I would like to remind everyone of the remarkable accomplishments of his 6 year term as governor."

And she lists 26. 

Number one, Patti Blagojevich says, is making Illinois the first state in the nation to provide healthcare to all children.

Of course, Rod Blagojevich was accused of trying to shake down an executive at what was then Children's Memorial Hospital for a $50,000 campaign contribution in exchange for state health funding.

Hundreds of people have reacted positively to Patti's post.

The ex-governor was impeached and removed from office and is serving a 14-year prison term.

President Trump has indicated he's thinking about a pardon.
