I had a long drunken conversation about this subject with a lawyer here in Japan that sometimes handles immigration issues. He said that there are a number of ways in which an American can lose his/her citizenship wihtout specifically renouncing it, and one of those ways is to accept and use a passport from a nation that does not recognize dual citizenship.

Standard birfer guano. Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship.

What you quoted is in context of dual nationality, which is different than the situation described by Ronin.

Mostly true. However, you MUST use your US passport when entering the US. That is were a young, but adult, Barry Soetoro/Obama may have a problem.

From the web link you posted:

“Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.”

Recently a dual citizen confirmed this very statement to me personally. When in the US you have to affirm you are a US citizen, even if you are a dual or multi-national. I do know some who have 3 or 4 valid passports.

I am not sure if there are specific legal consequences for declaring yourself a foreign national while in the US. But the web still makes it clear that ‘Intent’ can be shown in statements and conduct. If a person declares themselves a foreign national to qualify for college grant monies or gain financial aid only provided to foreign students is that ‘intent’?
