Allegiance is commitment and loyalty.Just to close the loop, that's the same part I'm looking at. I read it as renouncing citizenship, although it doesn't use that word. I could be wrong about how the US interprets it. My understanding matches those I know who have gone through the process."I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen"
Citizenship is a legal status.
The oath is saying "my heart is here".
