Is an entitlement enacted through a law or legislation?

I use the term in the generic legal sense, not the 'Rat vote-buying sense.

IOW, if you are born in the US, you are entitled, as a matter of Constitutional law, to be a natural born citizen. You are not entitled to a living, however, that being the 'Rat sense of the word.

There is no such thing as a "general" sense when discussing legal issues!
There is a definitive legal definition and that's it!

So try again...

An example...
@8 USC § 1101 - Definitions
(a) As used in this chapter—
(3) The term “alien” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.

Is there a "general" legal definition or is there a specific legal definition?
