  Perhaps part of why you haven't heard of anyone forcing citizenship renunciation is that renunciation is difficult and uncommon. I think that is a good thing and it should stay that way. "I am pretty sure [the renunciation] would be invalidated if you proved that it was under duress." I'm curious about your thinking on this point. Could you list the forms of evidence a person who renounced citizenship under duress could adduce to prove the renunciation was done under duress? I'm pretty sure an audio tape of "Tell you what. Since you hate me and America so much, denounce your citizenship and I'll let you go live a peaceful life back wherever you came from" while the person is chained to a radiator would not count, even though under the circumstances this is a form of duress. I don't think you are correct that any court would overturn it, regardless of any evidence introduced. For this reason, I personally feel that it should not be possible to renounce citizenship, specifically to prevent this possibility from happening.
