No, you don't. Most countries require you to have citizenship in another country before renouncing your citizenship. The US is not one of them. Americans have the right to make themselves stateless if they choose.
They will warn you that becoming stateless is a bad idea, but they won't stop you. Per the state department's website:
But where would they deport you to? Antarctica? The ocean? The moon?
The airline doesn't allow you onto the plane. The US doesn't allow you off of the ship. And God help you if you think you're getting through the Mexican border.
Ok but assuming you're in the US to begin with. Do you get to stay for lack of a place to banish you to?
Maybe to the shadow realm? Maybe all this time those paranormal spooky ghosts sightings were not dead people but just stateless
Either direction!
You have to be outside the US to renounce. Deportation is not the US's problem.
But yes, that's one of the big issues of statelessness they can't send you back anywhere.

Interesting. I wonder what they would do with someone who renounced citizenship while outside of the US, but then somehow smuggled their way back in.
Guantanamo bay. Probably
Hell yeah, free moon ride!
If you don't want to be considered stateless, also you need to pass your exit interview. Both require citizenship in another country
