With Arnold the situation is not unclear because he wasn’t born here, so he had to be naturalized. Everyone agrees that a naturalized citizen can’t be a natural born citizen. That’s not controversial.

Is Arnold a US citizen? Then yeah. He could be president.
If you are born here, regardless of where your parents were born you are a natural born citizen of the USA and therefore eligible to be POTUS.
Like I said, earlier, how many of the first few Presidents were not only born here but both their parents were born here. I don’t really know but I doubt very many.
I remember this coming up with John McCain, he wasn’t born in the USA, he was born in Panama, but both his parents were born here, therefore he could be POTUS.
Not even citizens of Puerto Rico, a US territory can be president. They’re not Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizens.
