You can't be stripped of your U.S. citizenship involuntarily, at least for things you do after you become a citizen.

There is a similar law about U.S. government officials not being allowed to have dual-citizenship. The idea is you should be loyal first and only to the United States to serve in its government. Yet the same thing happens where this law is on the books, but not enforced. Notably, the mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is an Israeli citizen.
There is no such law. Many people in the US government are dual nationals. I know dual nationals with Top Secret clearances. Granted, they are citizens of friendly countries like Canada, the UK or Ireland, but there is no such law or rule.
Interesting, I guess I heard wrong!
