You ave not been watching the whole debate on this issue have you?
Minor v Happersett (1874)says the opposite. This case has never been overturned either by following law cases or by legislation OR Amendments. It is still the law of the land, and will be UNLESS it is changed. It is the law.
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168."

Deals a lot with the type of citizenship issues that Rubio faces.
