Meantime, take our election quiz; at the end is a state-by-state guide for registering to vote. You can also plug into CNN's Impeachment Watch podcast.

The US may begin pulling out of the Paris climate deal
It's been more than two years since President Trump announced he'd pull the US out of the agreement among 200 nations to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. His administration can start the formal, yearlong withdrawal process Monday with the United Nations.

Roger Stone goes on trial
President Trump's longtime adviser is due in federal court Tuesday to face charges of obstructing justice, witness tampering and lying to Congress. The alleged crimes are tied to the release of stolen Democratic Party emails during the 2016 presidential campaign. Stone was indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Off-year elections dot the nation
Voters head to the polls Tuesday in a slew of important local races. Citizens of Kentucky and Mississippi choose governors, while in big cities, including Philadelphia, Houston and San Francisco, they'll select mayors and other local reps. The results could offer hints about what's to come in 2020.

John Bolton may get deposed in the impeachment probe
President Trump's ex-national security adviser is at least the eighth person due to testify this week before House investigators. But his attorney has said he won't appear as scheduled Thursday without a subpoena. Bolton is key to several events tied to the inquiry, including reportedly raising concerns about Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

Jerry Sandusky will be sentenced again
The former Penn State assistant football coach is set to be re-sentenced Friday on charges he sexually abused 10 boys over at least 15 years. A state court ruled it was illegal to impose mandatory minimum sentences when Sandusky, 75, was punished in 2012 with at least 30 years in prison. Penn State last week said it's investigating a new claim of abuse by Sandusky.
