At that time they were worried that someone from outside America could come here, backed by a King's power, and win office, then turn our country into a colony for the King backing that guy.

No. If you weren't born here in America. You can still run for U.S. Senate or Governor. We have more than enough qualified folks already in the country who would be more than happy to be elected and govern as President of this great nation without having to expand our pool, and add another danger to our nation in the process, to folks from other countries, who probably will have more loyalty to their original country than ours.
