Can i lose my us citizenship?
Answer:
A natural born citizen can not lose their citizenship. They are an American because they were born in America therefor making them legal American citizen.
Basically, you have to do something that shows that you have a stronger allegiance to a different country. You have to do something like become a policy maker of that government, commit treason, serve in a foreign country's army (while supposedly a citizen of the US), or obtaining citizenship under false pretenses (e.g., lying during the naturalization process).
This site lists the reasons for a naturalized US citizen to lose citizenship. I don't know about those of us who were born citizens. I would play it safe and assume the same rules apply. Losing your citizenship will be the least of your worries. You'll be killed before the the citizenship hearing gets started for any of them, unless you have dual citizenship with a friendly nation which makes you a military officer or government official.
1. Convicted For An Act Of Treason Against The United States
Treason is a serious crime, and the Constitution defines the requirements for convicting someone of treason. Treason is waging a violent war against the United States in cooperation with a foreign country or any organized group. It includes assisting or aiding any foreign country or organization in taking over or destroying this country including abolishing the Constitution. Treason also consists of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the US government or of betraying our government into the hands of a foreign power. If you are caught and convicted of treason, you can pretty much count on losing your US citizenship as well as serving lots of jail time.
Holding A Policy Level Position In A Foreign Country
If you become an elected official or hold a policy-level position (like an ambassador, cabinet minister, or any high level administrative position where you make government policy) in your native country or a foreign country, you run the risk of losing your US citizenship. On the other hand, if you hold a non-policy level job like working in your native country’s embassy or working for your native country’s government in an advisory or purely administrative capacity, you run little risk of jeopardizing your US citizenship. For further information, see the State Department’s circular: ADVICE ABOUT POSSIBLE LOSS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND SEEKING PUBLIC OFFICE IN A FOREIGN STATE.
Serving In Your Native Country’s Armed Forces If That Country Is Engaged In Hostilities Or At War With The United States
If your native country is engaged in hostile actions or is at war with America you need to be extremely careful. The US government will attempt to take away your US citizenship if they find out you are either aiding or serving in your native country’s armed forces in any capacity. Alternatively, the US government could try to nail you with a treason conviction and then strip you of your US citizenship.
Serving In Your Native Country’s Armed Forces As An Officer Or A Non-Commissioned Officer
If your native country is not at war with or engaged in hostilities towards the US, then serving in your native country’s armed forces is OK as long as you are not an officer or non-commissioned officer (usually the rank of sergeant or above). Serving as a civilian worker in your native country’s armed forces, or serving as an enlisted man or women are generally acceptable. For further information, see the State Department’s circular: ADVICE ABOUT POSSIBLE LOSS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND FOREIGN MILITARY SERVICE.
The State Department has set several administrative guidelines for dual citizens to follow in order to avoid losing their US citizenship ( ADVICE ABOUT POSSIBLE LOSS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND DUAL NATIONALITY ). The four reasons for losing US citizenship cited above were taken from these guidelines. We strongly suggest that you carefully review these guidelines if you are planning on maintaining dual citizenship. As you review the guidelines keep in mind that the State Department is primarily referring to native-born US citizens who become dual citizens by being naturalized in another foreign country. The guidelines are also applicable to naturalized US citizens who maintain their original citizenship.
Lying To The USCIS During The Naturalization Process
Refusal To Testify Before Congress About Your Subversive Activities
Truth be told only American and Naturalized citizens babies are legally and rightfully American citizens.
And those who tell you different still do not understand or have come up with their own interpetations of the Constitutions 14th Amendment.
America has not and does not go by the English rule of common law (Jus Solis). That was British/English practice of their law. And when the Americans won the Britsh-American revolution, Our forefathers threw out that rule. America has and always will go by the following instead - "By virute of Natural law". Which in short means that one must be an American citizen or Naturalized citizen for their babies born on U.S. soil to be the only ones who are American citizens.
Like I said before - those who believe that lie of birth-right, are just as foolish as those who tell it.
only through your own actions
We hold that the Fourteenth Amendment was designed to, and does, protect every citizen of this Nation against a congressional forcible destruction of his citizenship, whatever his creed, color, or race. Our holding does no more than to give to this citizen that which is his own, a constitutional right to remain a citizen in a free country unless he voluntarily relinquishes that citizenship.
