This doesn’t establish eligibility. I’m afraid the US law in this regard is neither simple, nor intuitive.

As I said, the folklore version that I and most people seem to think applies is that if you were born outside U.S. territory you were ineligible. I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. If even one of your parents is a natural-born citizen, so are you.

But regardless of what the original law may have been, they inaugurated Chester A. Arthur, and they can’t change their minds now.
