Except he wouldn't have been able to keep 2 of them if he became american.
You can have Canadaian andUS citizenship.
Yes, I didn't say you couldn't.
I said if you apply for a US citizenship, they make you renounce your other citizenships.
In Muskrats case that would be SA and Canada.
Except they don’t do this?
“US. law does not require a U.S. citizen to choose between U.S. citizenship and another (foreign) nationality (or nationalities). A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to their U.S. citizenship”

The US might not require that. The country you are joining might not have the same rules.
Edit: Also that is for becoming a citizen of a different country than the US. Which really doesn't contradict my statement.
You claimed the USA requires people to gove up their citizenship and they do not.
Edit: how does your comment and link back your statement when it's about Americans becoming a citizen of a different country?
“I said if you apply for a US citizenship, they make you renounce your other citizenships.“
That’s what Im replying to. This claim you made is without question incorrect.
You are trying very hard to cling to an incorrect notion.
And your link doesn't support your statement.
Yes, it does. You don’t lose other citizenships when you gain US citizenship.
You keep asserting otherwise, how about you back that claim up with proof?
Ted Cruz had dual citizenship and held office, so I'm unsure how you think it can't be done.
Where did I say he couldn't hold office?
Edit:Ted cruz also has a canadian and american parent.
In order to hold office you have to have citizenship. Cruz held office while (unknowingly) having dual citizenship ... until he found out and renounced his Canadian citizenship.
So you are demonstrably incorrect.
You seem to be making up things that I have said.
Please quote me.
As many of us have said this is demonstrably incorrect. America does NOT force anyone to give up a foreign citizenship to gain US citizenship.
