What I know is what the Constitution says: 35 years of age, lived here for fourteen years and born in the USA, by this definition both men are eligible to be president.

But you know that is NOT what the Constitution says.

It puts the additional qualifier of “natural born” for the position of President as a requirement.

The 14th Amendment did not modify the qualifier.

Therefore it still must be met.

“...and born in the USA...”

That is NOT the Article II standard......
