The understanding of “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” would seem to be the relevant point.

Yes, the solicitor General IMO really flubbed the case. Its all about the meaning of jurisdiction. Not domicile.

I’m expecting the court to side step the issue completely and just rule that the President does not have the constitutional authority to waive birthright citizenship. They’ll throw it on Congress.

“The understanding of “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” would seem to be the relevant point.”

And that was exhaustively explained, in writing, by the men who wrote the 14th. It is no mystery.

Some could argue due to the original texts that should read subject “of” the jurisdiction thereof. But I’m not a Constitutional scholar.
