i been looking up the answer due to the fact I'm a U.S. citizen by birth but my mother became a automatic British citizen on 21 May 2002 went UK pass British Overseas Territories Act.
from the U.S department of State website
A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship over another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.
or
Dual citizenship may be acquired in many ways including: birth abroad, marriage to a foreign citizen, through a foreign citizen parent or by application for citizenship in another country.

Apparently you can't hold dual citizenship in the US of A.
I have friends that would like Mexican citizenship, but they would have to give up their US citizenship.
Canada, however, does allow dual citizenship.

I would check with the state department. Normally if you swore allegiance to another country you can loose your citizenship

Only if the other nation doesn't recognize dual citizenship and makes you renounce your US citizenship.
