LOSS OF CITIZENSHIP. Under certain circumstances, you my lose your U.S. citizenship by performing any of the following acts: (1) being naturalized in a foreign state; (2)taking on oath or making a declaration to a foreign state; (3) serving in the armed forces of a foreign state; (4) accepting employment with a foreign government; or (5) formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer overseas. For detailed information, consult the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or contact the Office of Citizens Consular Services, Department of State, Washington, DC 20520-4818, or call (202) 647-3444.
I offer no interpretation.

Steven F is right on track (or should I say his passport is)
Additionally: If you are not naturally born - ie aborted
All of those that said if you commit a crime you lose citizenship are wrong. Although it would be nice to amend the constitution and revoke citizenship to those that do not contribute to society.
They could stay in the country, but would not have access to the Bill of Rights, because they don't deserve them.
Ex: Those that drop out of school, don't work, don't pay taxes, or that are career criminals . . . however if they get back on track they could regain citizenship or get it late in life.

It takes some volition to lose your citizenship, even once you've twin citizenship. Deportation to Australia is composed of getting back from Australia, no longer in trouble-free terms giving up citizenship. in case you want to stay in Australia, you may earnings this without lack of citizenship. If the Aussies agree that you've Australian citizenship, they're going to possibly assist you to enter with no visa and start up residing there.

You can lose your US citizenship, if you commit a crime against the country. And in rare cases people have lost it for committing crimes like murder. check out the web cite. usagov.org
you can find information there about US citizenship.

i think a better question would be how does one go about getting citizenship somewhere else.it depends on where your going to and wherer your coming from. but for the most part you only lose citizen shiip f you get deported but that requires that you do somthign bad and not be native to that country

Do you mean intentionally or involuntarily? I believe you can intentionally revoke your US citizenship by stating that you want to revoke it at several consulates around the world. (You can't do it in the US.)
