The UK is a member of the EU; it is not a member of Schengen. Anyway, US citizens can enter nearly all EU and Schengen countries without a visa no matter where their travel originated from. Look them up here:

The U.K. is part of the European Union (EU) however they and Ireland control their immigration apart from the remainder of the EU. Most EU members are already part of the Schengen Zone, and many of the newer member states such as Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic will join the zone in the upcoming year. As a U.S. citizen you can travel to the U.K. for up to a 6 month visit, and the EU for a 3 month visit. No visa is required if strictly for tourism and/or business.

Depends on the visa if you get a "schengen visa" than you can travel into any of the participating countries who have signed to an agreement of the same name but UK is not in that group so you wopuld probably need a double or multiple entry visa for UK and than you can do that

it is not comparable to u . s . of america, that's a single united states. that's ruled completely by way of international treaty. Any united states can lower back out of a international treaty by way of even if technique their national government dictates. there became an attempt at a shape in 2004, wherein the people of the rustic would comply with be guaranteed to the government of the ecu Union and it would supercede their own national government. there became lots of contraversy over it and finally France killed the notion. there is been communicate of yet another attempt interior the no longer too distant destiny, yet I doubt the ecu will style a solitary united states every time quickly, even regardless of the shown fact that that's turning out to be to be progressively extra ruled as one. i do no longer understand if it would have been achievable to withdraw below that shape, as I studied ecu regulation in my American regulation college after the form failed. It became demanding, via fact lots of the textbooks trusted it. It took a speedy time after the form failed till now new textbooks have been printed that did no longer assume it would be exceeded. i assume some considerable rewrites have been mandatory. (My professor became actual rewriting her textbook on an analogous time as coaching the classification, as an occasion.)
