On Sunday, we asked another Hot Button question: Should the state of Oregon sue the White House over President Trump's executive order temporarily banning entry to the United States by refugees and visitors from several predominantly Muslim countries?

Today, we're publishing some of the responses. If you'd like to add to the discussion, please see the Share your opinion info box on this page and let us know what you think. Look for a new Hot Button question on Sunday.

Moot question: The question to sue the White House by the State of Oregon is moot for two primary reasons:

1) US District Judge James Robart in Seattle on last Friday to temporarily block President Trump's Executive Order to ban travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries. 

2) Immigration control is within the President's power. States have no control over the White House powers vested by the US Constitution.

Excessive executive orders: The answer to your question is yes! The state of Oregon should also bring suit against any future executive order, presidential memorandum or proclamation.

The Republican and Democratic presidents have used these types of documents to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and the people's elected Congress. Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have all expanded the use of presidential statements, which were originally just to express the president's opinion regarding a particular law.

President Donald Trump is using his executive orders to create his own dictatorship. These violations of the U.S. Constitution have to stop. Our past presidents use of euphemisms, such as Police Action, etc., to conduct illegal wars must be stopped.
