Just wondering if anyone knows how many citizenships you are allowed to have if applying for U.S. naturalization - do you have to give up one if you already have a two citizenships and are applying for what would technically be the third (U.S.) passport for example? One of the existing is citizenship by birth.

The US does not care how many citizenships you have. After naturalization, to the US, you're US citizen are afforded all the rights and responsibilities of a US citizen. 

Some country is just like the US, they don't care. 

Some other countries specifically do not allow their citizens to have another citizenship. 

And then there are some that have limited dual/multiple citizenship.
