No it is in plain english:

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.

The ‘grandfather’ clause is just conspiracy BS. Please quote me the establish case law that invalidates the 2nd phrase of the above. (That’s a rhetorical question, because you can’t do it, there is no case law to that effect)

You are right, it is plain English. If someone doesn’t have to be a natural born citizen to be President then why isn’t the Governator eligible?

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution.

You can only be President if you are:

1. A natural born citizen or
2. A citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution.

The 2nd and 3rd requirement are plain English as well.

The Constitution is the law. If you are not a natural born citizen you are not going to be President. Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be President because he isn’t a natural born citizen.

The grandfather clause is not some conspiracy. Citizens cannot be President. Natural born citizens can.

There had to be an exemption for a period of time after the adoption of the Constitution where citizens could be President. Why? Because they weren’t natural born citizens. They were born British Subjects. This is not some conspiracy.
