How is it not relevant to quote Trumbull himself stating exactly what the "subject to the jurisdiction" requirement means?
Because you conveniently ignore that Trumbull's remarks were addressing concerns about American Indians and their citizenship, and were not addressing concerns about children of immigrants.
If you want to access the benefits of citizenship, you must apply for them and prove you deserve them.
Even if you are a US citizen born on US soil to two US citizen parents.

So what? Are you now going to argue that citizenship law is based on the number of pieces of paper you fill out? Would the law suddenly be completely different if the Italians put all four of those forms on a single page?
How desperate do you have to be to move the goalposts completely off planet and pretend that you decide if laws are the same or different based on the number of pieces of paper the bureaucracy uses?
Do you have any idea how pathetic your argument has become?
Okay. Please tell us what PERMANENT DOMICILE means to you. Is it signing a lease?
Clearly not, as millions of college students paying out-of-state tuition can tell you.

Domicile is a legal term. (Sometimes the term “legal residence” is used to mean the same thing, but to avoid confusion we will use only “domicile.”) Under English Common Law you acquire at birth the domicile of your parents (which may or may not be where you are born), and your domicile is the same as that of your parents as long as you are a minor. Thereafter, you may acquire a new domicile of your own. The general rule is that to do so you must go to the new location, establish actual residence there, and concurrently have the intention of remaining there indefinitely or of returning there after any temporary absences. Although you may have many residences, you only have one domicile.
We know that Obama's father was always in the country on only a temporary authorization, and returned to Kenya in 1964.
