esse, ten thousand hearts for the Corb Lund reference.
Speaking of, I just got an email that he's touring this fall/winter, and will be playing in NYC the day before I get there. ::sadface::
It's a real burden being right so often.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
ZK, that is is clearly a Corb Lund song I am beside myself.
Oh interwebs, make it so!!

The US doesn't recognise dual citizenship and will remove citizenship if you pledge alliegance to another state.
Tom didn't have to give up his UK citizenship when he became an American citizen. Just as a data point.

Amyth, ten million hearts for existing in the same universe as me.
I should check when Corb is coming to the PNw.

btw, Maria covered a lot of this, but you can be a US citizen and a citizen of another country. However, the US will not recognize you as a citizen of that other country.
What this means in practice is that if you are say, a US/UK citizen, and get arrested in Turkey, the US will not call the UK consulate for you. If you are a US/Ecuador citizen and get arrested in the US, you will be tried as an American and Ecuador won't have anything to say about it.
Most important, as this is what comes up the most, you must enter and leave the US on your US passport.

I have my Canadian citizenship again due to the whole "wake up Canadian" thing a few years ago, but I need to go to the consulate and get an ID card and some things like that.
I'm eligible for Irish citizenship since my grandfather was born there. I really need to follow up on that and do it.

ND, do it! Irish citizenship = EU citizenship, which benefits you so much when you travel in Western Europe. I wish there was a path there for me, but the closest Euro relative is my great-grandfather, who immigrated from Sweden.
