The requirements in the Constitution were custom made for those running.

All the candidates for the first election; Washington, John Adams, George Clinton, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr....were ALL born in the United States and Patriots. (Tho born British Subjects....hence the oath)

Washington ran unopposed since he got all the votes first time around. What was up for grabs was VP...All born in the USA!!

Historical note...Aaron Burr didn’t remain on the team forever, of course!
