Re: OT: What is the maximum number of citizenships someone can have?

The only case I know of was a friend who had (while a teen-ager) dual
British/American citizenship--
father was Brit (Scottish, actually), Mother was American, and IIRC he was
born in the UK. IIRC when he reached age 18 he would have had to declare
himself one or the other.  But this was in the 1950s, so likely the laws
have changed since then.

I think Americans who emigrate to Israel and become citizens can retain
their US citizenship, but I could be wrong.

I do believe it is (or used to be) possible to renounce one's US
citizenship, but again, this is remembered from the warning material that
came with my passport 50-some years ago.  Also, serving in a foreign army
jeopardized one's US citizenship.  Hadn't John Walker Lind (sp?)-- the
"American Taliban" who was tried and convicted in this country and is now in
prison-- renounced his citizenship?
