This is kind of a tricky question because technically under extraordinary circumstances, you can be stripped of US citizenship through a legal process called denaturalization. Remember, that's under really extraordinary circumstances. For example, a number of former Nazis that didn't disclose their history in their applications for citizenship were stripped of it after they were found out.
