[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]That is definitely not true. You can take additional citizenship as long as you do not intend to give up US citizenship.

[quote]A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.[/quote]

You can also lose your citizenship for other reasons. Meir Kahane was stripped of his US citizenship for the stated reason that he was serving in the Israeli Knesset. He claimed it wasn't his intention to give up US citizenship.
