It’s not about whether the electorate would vote for him. It’s that the Constitution of the United States of America forbids anyone other than natural-born citizens from becoming President.
In theory, you can have natural-born citizens with other first languages; Bruce Lee would have been eligible to run for president if he had lived long enough; but the author was being rhetorical.
