Rubio is a 14th ammendment citizen, not a NB.

There is no difference.

I would point out that the purpose of the 14th amendment was to grant citizenship to slaves, not re-write the rules for Article II eligibility. If you are arguing that the 14th amendment definition meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is consistent with the founders original intent and understanding, then I am open to proof regarding that, but if you are suggesting that it redefines Article II, then I have to disagree.
