Even if the US citizenship was invalid - the allegiance was made with full intent. | |

However, he technically never naturalized in the U.S. and never had U.S. citizenship. It is unconstitutional to lose U.S. citizenship involuntarily for someone who is born or naturalized in the U.S. The only way that he does not have U.S. citizenship is to decide that his naturalization is invalid. But if he didn't technically naturalize that would also mean he did not technically lose German citizenship. | |
