As you know, our federal government is made up of three branches: an executive branch, headed by the president; a judicial branch, headed by the U.S. Supreme Court; and a legislative branch, made up of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. How much trust and confidence do you have at this time in the executive branch headed by the president -- a great deal, a fair amount, not very much or none at all?

Next, as you may know, removing a president from office involves two major steps in Congress. First, the House of Representatives must vote on whether there is enough evidence to bring a president to trial before the Senate. This step is called impeachment. Next, the Senate must vote on whether to remove the president from office, or not. As you may know, the House has now impeached Donald Trump and the case [has been/will be] sent to the Senate for trial. What do you want YOUR senators to do -- [vote in favor of convicting Trump and removing him from office (or) vote against convicting Trump so he will remain in office]?
