Essentially that is what David said further up on this thread. (I think it was David, or someone else). The law was changed.
Yes, I remember now it was at DaveW.org — I posted the link above. Scroll back around 8600 — somewhere in there. He has a whole web page devoted to it because he and everyone in his family has dual citizenship with Canada and he knows all the ins and outs. I think his name is Dave.
I’m not looking to establish another citizenship for myself — I just toyed with the idea of getting another Passport in the late 70s, early 80s. My 13th great grandfather (back) was a Col. in the American Revolution. I couldn’t become an ex-pat now, even though this economy is killing me. But, it is interesting to know how and what was legal in 1961 (and it wasn’t legal in 1961).
In case you change your mind or if any one else wants to know, the following link goes to a page that wants to sell a book on the topic but it’s worth checking out for the short and sweet explanation of “Dual Citizenship O.K. for Americans”, “Why You May Need It”, “International Tax Grabs” and “Safety Factor” relative to having dual cit. and the ability to have 2 passports.

This page does not cover when the laws changed due to the SCOTUS case.
The book is supposedly already a best seller and it may get more popular if Obamacare passes with its alarming reference to the fed gov’t. having access to participants bank accounts, including allowing them to make “elective withdrawals.” What a bunch of thieves.
