Cousin Willie (I like that), Since you have never served in the military, you have never been `sworn' in that sense of the word.....However you have been sworn EVERYTIME you pledge allegiance to the flag (whether under god or not) of the United States of America, ONE nation, INDIVISILBLE..........hundreds of times in your life. Now to denounce your citizenship.......since you don't have a passport....... that is something you would have to take up with the immigration authorities.....ON YOUR WAY OUT OF THE COUNTRY. My sister adopted a baby while in England and Michael had dual citizenship until he was 12 years old. Then he had to go to court to denounce his Brit citizenship and swear his allegiance to the US. When he was 18 he tried to join our Navy and found that his Brit citizenship had not been dropped. It took three months to straighten up that mess (the local court had never filed his denouncement in Illinois). jerree
