Moderators, please allow me to post this since I did not get a chance to reply to the replies (redundance), anyways, I think there are some missunderstanding:
1. Natural Borns can have multiple citizenships by GAINING it through marriage, family origin, etc - that wasn't argued by me at all. Always knew this and its perfectly legal.
2. To the opposite, American citizens cannot APPLY for dual citizenship.
AE, you mentioned you are entitled to Italian citizenship gained and due because of your family roots to Italy and because Italy may allow dual citizenship - that is legal and doable, however, what you cannot do as American citizen is apply for citizenship of a country you have no family (spouse, mother, etc) from.
Rivas, mentioned the same thing and the above apply as well.
Dont' want to beat this horse to death, just a fair shoot to answer. Thanks
