Both Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were duel citizens. Yet both ran for the Presidency without objection.

Good pun aside, Hamilton is credited as being the inspiration for the grandfather clause of being a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton never ran for president.
Burr was qualified to run under Article 2, grandfathering in those who were born in the colonies.
