The 14th Amendment does not make anyone a “natural born citizen”. The words “natural born” appears nowhere in the Amendment.
Nor did the 14th Amendment change in any way the natural born requirement for the office of President
A man with parents who are both citizens of another country, though he were born on the steps of the Capitol, is not a natural born citizen.
He is an citizen, thus eligible to be a Senator or a Congressman, as long as the age and residency requirements are met.
But not eligible to be a President.
Please produce an opinion by the writers of the 14th Amendment that says otherwise.

What are you talking about. That makes no sense.
There are two waysto become a citizen of the United States.
In the first case, anyone who is a citizen by nature of his birth is a “natural born citizen.”
The other way is to enter an become a citizen, or a naturalized citizen.
Rubio, being born in Miami, Florida, is a natural born citizen.
