The courts ruled against the USG in previous cases citing border declarations.
I know someone who renounced her US citizenship to become a Canadian
official. She had to do so in the US Mission, in a formal procedure in
front of a consular officer, under oath.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, was born in the US, and has never
had a US passport, but was travelling across the US to get to Mexico
(or a caribbean country) and the US officials wouldn't let him do that
on a British passport.
