Oh actually no most of us can’t reasonably leave. We don’t have a shengen type deal or financial security so leaving is actually quite difficult for most of us.
I asked an American who was getting citizenship in my country if they were going to relinquish their american citizenship and was told that was pretty much unthinkable for an american.
Yeah I can’t imagine why I would. Like the country has its huge issues but holy fuck is our passport an amazing thing to have. It’s a thing of nobody but us will fuck with us.
The United States is one of only two countries that taxes based on citizenship, not place of residency. That means it doesn’t matter where you hang your hat — if you’re legally a U.S. citizen, you have a tax obligation to the U.S.

There’s no benefit to losing American citizenship. Why would you want to renounce it?
Not having to pay tax in the US when you don’t live or work there.
What kind of taxes would you owe if you don’t live or work there?

American passport is one of the few that still demand taxes even if you never been to the US for ages, look it up.
