Wait, coming back to this: like, yea. Of course. He wasn’t alive when the constitution was created. The date the paper was signed has no bearing on today. “At the time of this constitution” could easily mean people at that time and into the future.
He was naturalized and a naturalized citizen is a citizen eligible for presidency :)

Someone else already commented that a court found that it would apply to naturalized citizens, so that is sufficient for me.
However, the text itself says “at the time OF THE ADOPTION of this Constitution”, i.e. the specific point in time when it was adopted.
