Historically correct. But there was something specific the Founding Fathers wanted to say and thus: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, ... " I'd say they were pretty specific and historical factt did not matter in this case.

They were very specific. I just pointed out that one could be both "A natural born citizen of the United States and a citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption" of the Constitution. And two Presidents were.
