	Focus shifts in new citizen test questions - The Boston Globe
		The shift in emphasis is occurring after years of complaints that the exam tested trivia, rather than prompting prospective citizens to understand the nation's shared identity, and that it was administered unfairly, with applicants in some cities receiving harder tests.
		Green-card holders, also known as legal permanent residents, are allowed to take the citizenship test after living five years in the United States, or after three years if they are married to an American or serving in the military.
		Chris Rhatigan, a spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Services, said cities were chosen for the pilot study at random to reflect a representative sample of busy and quiet offices and all regions.

	Dual Citizenship FAQ
		Automatic citizenship via marriage is rare nowadays; more commonly, marriage may allow one spouse a "fast track" to immigration to the other spouse's country, but a period of non-citizen permanent residence would still be required before the immigrant spouse could obtain a new citizenship via naturalization.
		Where one country requires a citizen to renounce the citizenship of another country, this renunciation may or may not be acknowledged or accepted by the other country.
		Citizenship claims by a country over a given individual could happen even if the person in question never sought recognition as a citizen of that country -- or even if the person was totally unaware that he/she was a citizen of that country according to its laws.

	United States nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whether or not this restriction applies to children born to non-US citizens but adopted as minors by US citizens is a matter of some debate, due to ambiguities in the interpretation of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 as to whether acquisition of citizenship by that route is to be regarded as naturalized or natural-born.
		As a historical matter, U.S. citizenship could be forfeited upon the undertaking of various acts, including naturalization in a foreign state, service in foreign armed forces, and voting in a foreign political election.
		There are also special provisions for persons who are deemed to have renounced citizenship for purposes of avoiding U.S. taxation (which is, in some cases, applicable on certain income for up to ten years after the official loss of citizenship), which can result in loss of right to entry into the United States.

		Most Americans believe that the "legal right to vote" in our democracy is explicit (not just implicit) in our Constitution and laws.
		Therefore, as a result of the First Amendment, every American citizen has an individual right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and religious freedom (or to choose no religion at all), regardless of which state you are in - individual rights that are protected by the federal government.
		A state right is NOT an American citizenship right (that is, not protected by the federal government), but a right defined and protected by each state - and limited to that state.
