The father was also subject to US jurisdiction per the 14th, since he did not have diplomatic immunity. If he was obligated to pay his parking tickets, he was subject to the jurisdiction.
Of course, there are some who claim he was not natural born, regardless of his birthplace, because his father was not a citizen. But that's a steeply-uphill legal argument which is going nowhere.
Being a “natural born citizen” is definitely a requirement. The U.S. Senate resolution states that “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens. . . Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
In the link below notice how they always use the plural ‘born to American citizens’...’born to American parents’ to describe a natural born citizen, as required in the Constitution to be President:

Senators: McCain Is A ‘Natural Born Citizen’
In February, The New York Times published a report calling into question the legality of McCain’s presidential run. McCain was born to American citizens stationed on an American Naval base in the Panama Canal Zone. He has since served in the U.S. Navy, and, since 1983, has served in the U.S. Congress.
“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.”
“It is silly for anyone to argue that Senator McCain is not eligible to become president,” said McCaskill. “I would hope that this is something we can all agree on, for goodness sakes.”
At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President.
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.
No, he wasn't. He was a nonresident alien. You'd have that idiot who stole a plane in Canada and headed into the US last year being somehow able to transmit US citizenship to his offspring because he was arrested in the United States. That is clearly not the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." The 14th dealt with extending the rights and obigations of citizenship to a group of people who had been denied such, former slaves. It had no bearing, and cannot have any bearing, upon the meaning of the Constitutional term "natural-born citizen," let alone the eligibility requirements for the office of President.
