Other presidents had British fathers and were dual citizens at birth.

Only the Founders. Read it.

Only the founders could be ‘just’ citizens. But Chester Arthur’s father was from the UK and that didn’t disqualify him.
Think about this: if England decided to make Sarah Palin a British citizen, would that disqualify her?
