Could he, BHO Sr, be drafted? Could he vote? Could he serve on a jury? Could he hold a job?

Those aren't immunities. They're exclusions.

You might as well argue that a twelve year old isn't subject to the jurisdiction of the United States because they can't get a driver's license. They can't register for Selective Service, vote, or sit on a jury either.

So will you argue that a twelve year old is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States?

No, but when the difference in exercise of the Jurisdiction of the United States is due to nationality, then the foreign national is not subject to the complete jurisdiction of the US.

Other countries get testy if you try to draft their citizens. So did we in 1812. They get testy because you have no right or legitmate power to exercise that sort of jurisdiction over their nationals.
