That would be "renounce". You can initiate the procedure at any US embassy or consulate abroad -- it cannot be done within the US. Consular officers will try very hard to talk you out of it in your own interests, but you do have the right.
Be very careful, though, as this is an irrevocable act. I assume you already have the nationality of the country in which you intend to renounce, or at least some other nationality. If not, you would become a stateless person.

look under wikepedia (i hope I spelled this right) for "stateless persons". Albert Einstein was a stateless person when Israel ceased to exist. Usually, you have to obey the laws anyway of your host country, so what the hay.. Look at the movie "The Sand Pebbles" and you will see the old man declare his stateless position to a soldier...then he was promptly shot.. I think there was a court case from the 1940's which stated that a person could lose his citizenship if he committed an act of treason against the U.S. So, you wanna go out in a blaze of glory???

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 stipulates that Americans wishing to renounce their U.S. citizenship must sign an oath of renunciation in the presence of a diplomatic or consular officer. The oath reads: "I hereby absolutely and entirely renounce my United States nationality, together with all rights and privileges and all duties of allegiance and fidelity." The renunciation must take place in a foreign country, and the State Department reserves the right to reject the citizen's attempt to ditch their citizenship.

Go to the U.S. Dept. of Immigration & Naturalization and ask what you can do. Prior to that, I would find another country willing to take you as a citizen. A person with NO citizenship is totally powerless in the world.
Bye, bye.

Move to another country speak to that countries version of the immigration and tell them you want o become a citizen. You have to be able to speak the language.
Or you can be like me and have dual citizenship when you get tired of one country move to the other one. The only way you can do that is if your parents are from two different countries.

Renouncement of US citizenship is usually done on foreign soil - not officially in front of an official, but I would submit a letter to one of your senators stating that you are renouncing your citizenship.
I do not advise you doing this lightly as you will lose any legal protection. Do you have dual citizenship or residence in another country or are you prepared to deal with being stateless?

in front of a consular officer. I believe you also have to file a renunciation, just to be perfectly clear.
