"“So you see there, the U.S. DOES recognize dual nationality”

If by “recognize” you mean the U.S. government is aware dual citizenship exists, well, duh. What’s important is that it makes no legal difference, which is what I was getting at. The U.S. government does not legally recognize dual citizenship. Persons born with allegiance to another country is every bit a citizen as everyone else (aside from naturalized citizens, of course, who can’t be president).

----------------------------

What, now your simply making stuff up? Where's your proof that "The U.S. government does not legally recognize dual citizenship."

I've just shown you proof that the state department (which, as you know, is part of the government) DOES recognize it.

“I’ve just shown you proof that the state department (which, as you know, is part of the government) DOES recognize it.”

Yes, you found the word “regognize” somewhere in the vicinity of “state department” and “dual citizenship.” Whoopdeedoo. As I stated above, I meant the U.S. government does not legally recognize dual citizenship. That dual citizens are every bit the citizen as everyone else. Which is absolutely true, and need not be demonstrated by me since everyone knows it.

By the way, if you apply a little reason and read between the lines of what you quoted, you’d see they assume dual citizens are not legally different from other citizens, too. There are a couple of stipulations. But one is purely a matter of state department policy (not the law), andf therefore a practical matter. The other has to do with foreign laws that might interfere with U.S. laws, which is obviously another matter altogether from dual citizenship qua dual citizenship.
