You said — “Why do they bother? It’s not like there was anything to that certifiGate scandal. The only people who followed that were tinfoil hat conpsiracists. /s”

No, more like “Obama Derangement Syndrome” for thinking that the law and the courts could correct a loophole in the system in which no one had to “prove” his qualifications in the past. That’s the “tinfoil conspiracists” in that they can’t face up to the “reality” of the system and the “loophole” that was/is there...

This — on the other hand, faces up to “reality’ and corrects the system.

That's true. However, a bill like this will likely put the kabosh on such conspiracy theorizing in the future, which IMHO makes it worthwhile.
