Rubio's Time Will Come

Clearly, the 14th amendment trumps common law, and the plainest reading of it is that a person born in the united states is a natural born citizen regardless of their parents, as long as they are subject to the jurisdiction therein.

Under this standard, and understanding that Minor was not deciding this issue, but merely commenting on it, I think it is safe to argue that being born in the US to parents who are under the jurisdiction of the US is enough to make you a natural born citizen.

Your reliance on Minor is ill-placed. Minor was a case regarding whether females had a constitutional right to vote. The discussion of citizenship was dicta, not the case at issue, which means it is a look at the views of the court and how it pertains to the issue at hand, female right to vote, but not binding law or precedent.

Furthermore, the Minor court states that at COMMON LAW, a person was always considered a natural born citizen if they were born into the US and had two citizen parents. It also stated that even before the 14th amendment, at common law some people believed that simply being born in a country made you a natural born citizen, though this view was less widely held.

We're not so nutty. Read the Supreme Court decision, Minor v. Happersett, from 1875 which states that a natural-born citizen is someone born of two citizen parents, so you're the one who should get a grip. Neither Rubio nor obama is eligible, and now the Democrats have admitted it in court.
