I'm not an American so I might not be right, but is it not that Presidents must be citizens from birth and not that Presidents have to born in the USA? I seem to remember that being the case when Ted Cruz was revealed to have been born in Calgary.
His mother was American, and by extension he's a citizen. I think the reason his birth certificate was hidden was to hide his backgound, not his citizenship.

Don't you forgo citizenship when becoming a citizen of another nation?
Ombongo became a citizen of Indonesia?
