And to muddy the waters even further, if we're talking about non-legally binding historical opinions, then there is also the interesting case of Mr. Steiukanler. Attorney-General Edwards Pierrepont apparently stated that holding dual-citizenship was not a barrier to being elected president. The following is from the Albany Law Journal, 1875-1876.

In your example it is important to notice that young Steinkauler was a natural-born US citizen. His parents became US citizens one year prior to his birth.

You cannot extrapolate his case to all persons born in the USA and claim that all native-born citizens are eligible for US presidency.
