The Board of Elections website cites Article II Section 1 as the Constitutional authority for Presidential requirements; however the reference to Natural Born Citizen has been replaced with just “Born a citizen” and they do not list Clause 5 which was specifically included by the Framers as a strong check against dual allegiance and foreign influence for the Office of the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief:


UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE II SECTION I CLAUSE V

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.”

The New York State Board of Elections regularly updates their website.
