I may be wrong concerning someone with dual citizenship:
US Constitution, Article II, Section 1:
"Clause 5:
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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
*****
I see no exceptions for dual citizenship. If I remember right, there is some question as to the propriety of the birth of one of the earlier Presidents (Jackson?) whose parents were born in Ireland, and whether he was born on the ship en route or here in the United States. It would have had to have been someone born after 1787, but definitely before Lincoln. Ack! I'm going to have to find this out!!
