“back inside cover explains how you can loose your citizenship by voting, taking an oath, declaration of allegiance, or serving in armed forces or accepting employment under the government of a foreign state..it goes on to add more ways a naturalized citizen can lose thir citizenship by redidency..”

I hate to be a stickler for acuracy but the above may not be QUITE acurate, Inside back cover of MY 1961 passport it says

under “Loss of NATIONALITY”.
“You MAY lose your United States NATIONALITY by being naturalized in, or by voting in the elections of a foreign state; by taking an oath or by serving in the armed forces or accepting employment under the government of a foreign state. If you are a naturized citizen of the UInited States, you MAY lose CITIZENSHIP by residing for 3 years in the country of your birth or former nationality, or by residing for 5 years in any other foreign state or states. For detailed information consult the nearest American diplomatic or counsular office.”

It says MAY lose, and seems to make a distiction between NATIONALITY and CITIZENSHIP.
