None.

There was no status of 'British Citizen' before 1983, so only people born since this date were born as such. Since the US Constitution prohibits people aged under 35 from serving as President, the first election where it would be possible for someone born as a 'British Citizen' to serve as POTUS us due to occur in November 2020.

None of the candidates of the major parties were born as British Citizens. Donald Trump may have a claim to be a British Citizen now through his UK born mother, but the British Courts have not as yet been asked to rule on someone in Mr Trump's circumstances. Even then since he was born in 1946, even if UK Government Policy was changed, he would be retroactively be classified as a 'British Subject' at Birth, and only a 'British Citizen' from 1983.
