Unlike most other countries, dual citizenship is not legal in the US. In fact, naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked if it could be proven that they owe allegiance to another country. Unfortunately if one was born in the US it is very difficult to do the same.\n\nDual allegiances is wrong, as well as unethical.

I have never understood how athletes change citizenship to compete for another country. I think they just have to train here for a year and obtain duel citizenship and they can compete. I would think that posed an ethical issue. I heard last night someone’s father was American so he was competing here. Don't know about grandparents however.

Usually, you have to choose between the 2 evils. It's nice to have others in the race but what usually happens is one of the non-democratic candidates take votes away from the democratic candidate.  Then the republican wins.

Although U.S. statutes are silent on dual citizenship, U.S. courts have ruled that there's no law prohibiting it. It is a matter of policy not to encourage dual citizenship even though U.S. recognises it.\n\nWhen you are naturalised as a U.S. citizen, the U.S. considers that you have renounced all other nationality or subjecthood. But U.S. generally does not notify foreign authorities about this, and your home country may not recognise, or even be aware of, such renunciation.

Yes, they can. However, as the President is elected by electoral votes (which are determined by a state's population), all of the people residing there actually only get one vote. How's that for fair?

the kids probably have dual citizenship because of your wife (like I do) and yes its legal\n\nthe reason they want you to have both is an american passport won't prove that they are brazilian, personaly I would sugest getting both, it will probably be easyer for them going through customs and everything, atleast it is for me going from the US to the UK\n\nas for how they can force you, if they know you need both they can probably refuse you access to the plane for not having the proper passports\n\nalthough I did travel for a few years with only one passport before I knew I needed both and I never got stopped I would not really want to go to all the hassle of getting to the airport only to be turned away

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.

What Cyanne said above me is NOT true (sorry).  The United States recognises dual citizenship, but when you are in the United States and have U.S. citizenship, you are fully liable for the consequences and benefits that come with the citizenship and the second citizenship is not taken into effect (i.e. paying American taxes even if you work abroad in that country where you have citizenship).  It is even mentioned on the Department of State (state.gov) as a travel warning that if you have dual citizenship you are liable for all legal consequences in the nation before extradition to the States can take place.  I also know this because I am a dual citizen to the U.S. and to the Republic of Moldova, and have been for 10 years.\nYou can contact the Russian Federation's embassy, in either Washington D.C. or New York City, whichever is closest, and they can send you an application that will have to be filled out by both your parents and yourself.  The only way that they wouldn't grant you citizenship is if RUSSIA has laws against obtaining dual citizenship - the U.S. has no problem with it as long as you understand the rules that come with it.  Contact the Russian embassy, they can tell you all about it.  I believe there are also application fees that apply, check out the website at:http://www.russianembassy.org/.  That's for the D.C. embassy.\nGood luck.

Why do you need accurate results from people living in the US on Yahoo? Just because you have a "one person-one vote" policy-does not mean that people will not try and throw your poll.

In the end you only have one vote regardless of your political affiliation.  People who don't vote are the weak ones.

Depends on what citizenship you have

you get what you vote for maybe!!! one vote for each person registered means the majority wishes are represented by congress and senators if they  only did what we wanted it would be great but once elected they lie cheat and steal .nothing you can do except elect really poor stupid people who have more sense then the currnt idiots running things . you should be from the projects and have been arrested at least once to run for office that would scare the shit out them !!!!!!!!!!!!major companies would flee to other nations even start there own like maybe the cayman islands or something.

If one of your parents is from the US and the other from Mexico you can have dual citizenship, you have to apply for it though. My husband is a Mexican citizen and a US resident, they will allow him to apply for citizenship in 2 years, if he chooses to then he will have dual citizenship. But you must understand that Mexico will still treat him as a Mexican citizen, and there are disadvantages to that, for Example I (as a US citizen) can take $10,000.00 into Mexico, he can only take less that $500.00!

It is not possible to voluntarily acquire dual citizenship. The United States requires that you give up your citizenship when you voluntarily apply for another citizeship. If you acquire the dual citizenship automatically (because of birth or marriage), you may be required to choose between the two, though the US does not require it.

The only two elected jobs(federal) that you cannot hold if you are not a "born" citizen are president and vice president.  You could be born overseas and still be a US citizen like say if your mom was a US citizen but you were born while she was on vacation in Canada.  I think if you're born and a US embassy you're also a "born" citizen.

Yes it is true. And yeah you probably could get dual citizenship, anyone can get citizenship here it seems. Don't know about the exchange though. EH!\nAnd I agree the Hip suck now but their album Up To Here is one I like. They haven't done anything really good since then.
