| | Questions and answers on dual US/other citizenship |
| | Dual citizenship arises, not out of explicit bilateral agreements between nations, but because each country makes its own laws respecting who is or is not its citizen, often without regard for whether a given person is considered a citizen by more than one country at once. | | | While an amendment addressing solely the dual citizenship issue might not incite enough public interest to get very far, a constitutional ban on dual citizenship could gain momentum if it were attached to the more popular issue of restricting the right to citizenship of children born in the US to illegal alien parents. | | | The Afroyim Supreme Court ruling, which paved the way for dual citizenship after foreign naturalization, dealt specifically with the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to people "born or naturalized in the United States." The court did not prohibit Congress from establishing prerequisites to naturalization. |

| | Dual citizenship may carry with it certain benefits, but it may also bring unexpected difficulties: legal proceedings, taxation and financial responsibilities, military service, denial of emigration, even imprisonment for failure to comply with obligations in one of your countries of citizenship. | | | Dual citizenship occurs because citizenship can be obtained in more than one way: through country of birth, naturalization, parents, grandparents or, in rare cases, marriage. | | | However, cases of dual citizenship are more common. |

| | According to a memorandum from the State Department Consular Service, ''a person (from a country that does not accept dual citizenship) and who is naturalized in the United States keeps the nationality of the country of origin despite the fact that one of the requirements for U.S. naturalization is a renunciation of other nationalities.'' | | | According to Carmen di Placido, a retired U.S. State Department official and an expert on naturalization issues, the number of those in the United States seeking to retain or obtain extra citizenship is growing. | | | The only way you can lose it is to present yourself to an Embassy outside the United States and make a written renunciation. |

| | It is all to the good that these efforts to deny citizenship have been overturned by U.S. courts upholding the Constitution’s founding promises. | | | In a near-total reversal, however, since 1990 the State Department officially has presumed that even these acts do not imply an intention to give up U.S. citizenship and intention (the dual citizen’s intention, natch) is all that matters. | | | The Supreme Court settled the matter: Congress has “no power” to deprive an American of his U.S. citizenship. |

| | WorldNetDaily: Critics decry Mexican dual citizenship |
| | Now, however, Mexico's senate has passed a bill allowing for dual citizenship with no time limit – a measure supported by Mexican President Vicente Fox and most Mexican citizens. | | | In 1998, Mexican lawmakers passed a constitutional amendment allowing Mexicans who had become citizens of another country to apply for dual citizenship. | | | Krikorian added that "dual citizenship is especially dangerous for the United States" because "as a nation not based on common blood or church, but on shared ideals and history, the formal attachment of some of our people to another country& ideals and history creates the potential for enormous problems." |
