John McCain was born in Panama to 2 Americans - and had his status as natural born confirmed by Congress- is at least 35 and has lived here for at least 14 years.

Just because there's not a formal process, there are multiple vetting processes among Congress, the parties, the electors, the press, security clearance, etc.
So is this bill going through congress or is this at a state level? I was under the impression this was proposed to be a Federal bill. I'll have to read it and get back with y'all on a later date
