The answer hinges on when the American colonies became independent from Britain. Independence was declared on July 4, 1776. Martin Van Buren, the 8th president, was born in 1782, was the first born after 1776. However, Britain did not acknowledge American independence until they lost the Revolutionary War and signed the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Thus Van Buren , when he was born, was considered an American citizen by the Americans and a British citizen by the British. John Tyler,10th president,born 1790, was the first president born after the Treaty of Paris.
