Hmmm... I read this section, and I am as confused as ever. To paraphrase, it states that the US recognizes dual nationality, but if an adult applies for it, they may lose US citizenship. Now in my case, I think I already am a British citizen by virtue of birth prior to 1983, so I would not be subject to the previously mentioned may. But I wonder, under what conditions would the US strip citizenship from someone applying to be a dual national? I have some speculation, but I'll reserve it for OMNI.
