My Father-in-law came here from Holland in 1947 and he had to give up his Dutch citizenship. My brother came here in 1950 and he had to give up his Danish citizenship!!

That's right, because in order to become a naturalized citizen you are required to voluntarily give up your citizenship. Had your father-in-law or your brother been born here while on a visit to the U.S. then they would have acquired U.S. citizenship and there is nothing that Holland or Denmark could do to prevent it. Likewise, they no doubt would also have been citizens of Holland and Denmark, and there is nothing that the U.S. could do to prevent that. And said U.S. citizenship would continue until they were adults and they voluntarily gave it up.

In retrospect I think that this conversation between us should go into the F.R. "Hall of Shame" as evidence of crass Birther foolishness.

Likewise, if you were born in a foreign country and lived in the U.S. then U.S. law could not strip you of your foreign citizenship.

Nobody here have challenged this!

Your superb spin-machine (Alinsky) and as the superb usurper "After-Birther" member of his distraction brigade, definitely earns you that place in the F.R. "Hall of Fame/Shame!!

I agree, it is total foolishness to even engage in conversation with an "After-Birther" which normally is discarded or grind up for cosmetic purposes.....End of conversation!!!
