I’m sure the Founders, when crafting the Constitution, said “yeah, born in Canada to a Cuban Father is OK with us”.

Puh-leeze....

James Madison, a primary author of the Constitution accepted French citizenship.
The first U.S. President to be a natural born citizen was Martin Van Buren in 1837.
There were some pretty decent presidents before Van Buren (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Jackson) who were born as British subjects.
