Doesn't say anything about dual citizens not being eligible.

One cannot pledge allegiance to two countries at one time. It's time to do away with dual-citizenship
and/or prohibit those with dual citizenship from holding office. That goes for the California Austrian, as well.

Dual citizenship is recent in US history, a result of FDR's influence on the federal judicial.

Dual citizenship was first tolerated by US appellate courts in 1984. Prior to 1984, sole allegiance was required. Acquisition and recognition of a second citizenship was considered split allegiance and not permitted.
