The point being that the Executive Branch can mess up or mess over dual-citizens, as indicated in the matter of Cross which I referenced above.

Reference to the matter of O.S. CROSS this month.

Seeking or maintaining dual/multiple citizenships has its utility; but it also may have its complications -- good or bad -- depending on the circumstances applicable to some US dual-citizens applying for GE or who are members of GE. The applicant's information provided, or not provided, and the use of that information or omission, could have unexpected consequence for some claimed dual-citizens, be they US dual-citizens or other dual-citizens applying for GE or seeking to maintain GE status. Governments aren't saints, so some dual-citizens may want to make sure, proverbially-speaking, to cross each and every "t" and dot each and every "i" in the way that best makes sense for the individual and do so by getting their own appropriate legal counsel on these matters -- not that all such lawyers are going to necessarily be informed (or care) about each and every administrative, judicial or extrajudicial possibility that may hit dual-citizens.
Lots of US dual-citizens have GE status, and it's most frequently neither a show-stopper nor a problem and it should be disclosed -- but not every GE applicant/member with dual-citizenship is in the same boat, even amongst those who disclose all the relevant citizenships.
