Question

A. renounce loyalty to former governments
B. defends the U.S. Constitution
C. support the policies of the President
D. bear arms on behalf of America when reqired to do so

Answer 1

C.
The oath of allegiance is:

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

In some cases, USCIS allows the oath to be taken without the clauses:

". . .that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by law. . ."

Answer 2

C. Support the policies of the president.

We have freedom of expression for a reason. FYI, no US citizen is allowed to have dual citizenship. You are a US citizen or not.

Answer 3

My guess, and it is only a guess is C. support the policies of the President. We are all free to support or not. For instance I supported very little of Clinton's policies and strongly oppose some of Bush's.

Answer 4

A. This not required because some people retain dual citizenship.
