Start there. International Law and specific legal definitions were a thing in the 18th century so that two nations could agree on terminology utilized in legal disputes across borders.
You are full of shit.
Presidential eligibility doesn't have shit to do with international treaty or determination of war satus. And you're link doesn't either.
Stop stroking me, ya fucking homo.
Since you're obviously retarded, let me walk you through this.
You're authoring a law in 1780 and you need people to understand what you're writing. How do you define "natural born citizen"? How do you define "naturalized" citizen? You turn to a legal dictionary, obviously, or else you would have to define your terms in the document itself and you would have to be as specific as possible to prevent confusion.
Since the documents themselves do not define the terms, one would have to consult period documents to determine how those terms were defined.
The legal dictionary for SCOTUS that is used to define the terms in the constitution and to interpret legal precedent is Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 6th ed. 1856, not bullshit written in French.
Legal definitions outside 1776-1856 and outside the constitution are defined in Blacks Law Dictionary.
Stop fucking trying to cherry pick dictionaries and textbooks from other countries to find a narrative to fit your belief system about matters related to US domestic policy.
If the term isn't defined, there are federalist and anti federalist papers to aid in understanding the intent of our forefathers.
Show me 1 fucking reference in the law, case law, precedent, SCOTUS decisions, the federalist papers, or the anti federalist papers that give any weight to books about international treaties, status of war, or French Court decisions that have any relevancy whatsoever to US domestic law.
ONE FUCKING REFERENCE.
There are 2 ways to be a US citizen. Natural born or through a naturalization process. Anchor babies are not naturalized. They are born citizens.
