Weren’t the first Presidents citizens of both England and the United States?

Article 2, section 1, part 4.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.Section 2 link

the natural born requirements didn’t apply to those who were alive when the constitution was adopted which addresses your issue about the early presidents.

I'm guessing they surrendered their UK citizenship when they either affixed their name to the Declaration of Independence (Adams, Jefferson) or when they took up arms against the empire (Washington).
