It’s worth it anyway. The Constitution must be upheld and, apparently, there is no process for doing that as to presidential candidates at the moment. If a party hack says, yeah, he’s eligible, that seems to be all there is to it and that is not sufficient.

A state lawmaker wants to make sure that any candidate on the presidential ticket from now on can show proof they were born in the United States

I hope it is written that it requires natural born status rather than “born in the U. S.

Because one is born in the U. S. does not necessarily mean they are natural born citizens.
