	Questions and answers on dual US/other citizenship
		Dual citizenship arises, not out of explicit bilateral agreements between nations, but because each country makes its own laws respecting who is or is not its citizen, often without regard for whether a given person is considered a citizen by more than one country at once.
		Unless a dual citizen is serving in a "policy level position" in a foreign government, commits treason against the US (e.g., by fighting the US voluntarily during wartime), or acts in a manner considered totally inconsistent with any possible intent to keep US citizenship, the State Department is unlikely to take any action.
		While an amendment addressing solely the dual citizenship issue might not incite enough public interest to get very far, a constitutional ban on dual citizenship could gain momentum if it were attached to the more popular issue of restricting the right to citizenship of children born in the US to illegal alien parents.

	Embracing Dual Nationality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This fourth category was long a source of dual nationals—not where a naturalizing American sought to retain his or her original nationality but rather where his or her country of origin refused to recognize the transfer of allegiances, under the so-called "perpetual allegiance" approach to nationality.
		Nor did these dual citizens raise a particular threat to the American war effort by virtue of their (former) US citizenship—any more so than Japanese resident aliens who were similarly allowed to return home to serve their exclusive master.
		Indeed, though dual nationality was at the heart of many international controversies for more than a century (from roughly the middle of the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth), not a single commentator appears to have spoken in support of its acceptance or even its toleration.

	Dual Citizens in America -- July, 2000 Backgrounder

	Multiple citizenship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dual citizenship (being a citizen of two nations), or dual nationality, is by far the most common type of multiple citizenship, as nothing in international law prevents anyone from establishing citizenship in two countries.
		Many countries, even those which "permit" dual or multiple citizenship, do not "recognize" dual or multiple citizenship under their laws: individuals are treated either as citizens of that country or not, and their citizenship with respect to other countries is considered to have no bearing.
		A dual citizen is subject to travel restrictions, embargoes and sets of laws issued by multiple governments governing one's behaviour domestically and while travelling abroad.
