Thanks, Senor, that’s very interesting…and very different from what I learned when I became a US citizen. I wonder if the policy has changed since then?
Or maybe my memory is of this part, which seems to contradict the rest of the page:
The opening lines of the Oath of Allegiance are meant to give the United States exclusive sovereignty over the newly naturalized citizen. In other words, you are a citizen of one and only one country, the United States of America. The idea is that as soon as you take the Oath of Allegiance and become an American, you are giving up your citizenship of your native country.
