Dual Citizenship?

[blau993]

No, he did not become a citizen by virtue of his marriage. They had been married for several years before he even applied for citizenship. The French regarded his marriage simply as evidence that he intended to make France his permanent home, along with other evidence such as living in France, speaking fluent French, and owning his own business based in France.

4. He requires extrordinarily expensive haircuts.

5. When he gets wet, he looks just like a rat. (This may admittedly be true when he's dry, too.)

Oh, I see. Well, good of him if he settled where he intended to live and I hope he likes it here.

Current Law and Policy
United States law does not contain any provisions requiring U.S. Citizens who are born with dual nationality or who acquire a second nationality at an early age to choose one nationality or the other when they become adults (see Mandoli v. Acheson, 344 U.S. 133 [1952] ). The current nationality laws of the United States do not specifically refer to dual nationality.

While recognizing the existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other nationalities, the U.S. Government does not endorse dual nationality as a matter of policy because of the problems which it may cause. Claims of other countries upon dual-national U.S. Citizens often place them in situations where their obligations to one country are in conflict with the laws of the other.

In addition, their dual nationality may hamper efforts to provide diplomatic and consular protection to them while they are abroad. It generally is considered that while a dual national is in the other country of which the person is a citizen, that country has a predominant claim on the person. In cases where a dual national encounters difficulty in a foreign country of which the person is a citizen, the ability of the U.S. Government to provide assistance may be quite limited since many foreign countries may not recognize the dual national's claim to U.S. Citizenship.

In other words no.

The US does not recognize dual citizenship.

Dual citizenship is usually a functin of the laws of another nation, not the US.

Upon becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States part of the oath states:

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen

So, to answer your question, the Unites States expects you to have only one loyalty and allegiance to only one country. It is technically illegal for a citizen of the United States to owe allegiance via citizenship in another country. However, the law is never enforced.

BTW, I am a naturalized citizen of the US and it is the only citizenship I hold. My former country has laws that state I am their citizen until I die. However, I would be violating the law if I were to affirm that by claiming such citizenship and acquiring a passport from my former country.

Have you never heard her calling herself an African-American? 90% of the blacks, those that voted for Gore, were outraged.

[Quix]

Boy is that an understatement.

Or is it an underwear statement?

Or is it just under the table?

Under the carpet?

Maybe just UNDER!

4. He has this frenetic, hyper, arrogant, yippy barking habit any time anyone

gets near him or the truth or

anytime anyone questions

his manhood, patriotism, balance, sanity, service in VietNam

or

just questions him about anything.

[Atlantic Friend]

You're kidding me....African-American ? Yeah, right, and monkeys fly right of our @sses too...

[Andy from Beaverton]

As far as I am concerned, she is a real African-American. 90% of all blacks in America have never even been to Africa. To add one more thing, I think they should be called American-African. America should always be first.

Was her family long-established in Mozambique or was she just born here by happenstance ?
