This is a common belief, but it is false. The eligibility provision has an oft-forgotten second clause:
> No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
Hamilton was a citizen at the time of the Constitution’s adoption and was therefore eligible to run for president should he have been so inclined.

Van Buren was born in NY, in the US, but was the only president that used English as a second language. Both of his parents were of Dutch descent.
The first American born president (born after the revolution) was Van Buren, the first 7 were born British citizens!
