I became a US citizen last year and certainly never had to renounce my Swiss
citizenship. I did have to foreswear any "foreign potentates" but I did not
feel that the "Bundesrat" would fall into that category and so I had no qualms
about it. The US ignores my Swiss citizenship (though it does not like it but
that does not bother me very much) and so dual citizenship is possible.

AFAIK, if you want to become an American, you have to renounce your former
citizenship(s). However, Switzerland doesn't care. He's still a Swiss citizen by
Swiss law, even though the host country requires him to renounce his citizenship.
Anyway,
Stefan
PS: How refreshing not to bitch about the U.S. for once...
