You can apply for US passport only after you become a US citizen. After applying for US citizenship, on the day you take the oath you would have to hand over the green card and receive the naturalization certificate. Once you are a US citizen you can apply for US passport by filing Form DS-11. As a green card holder you can travel with it and according to the visiting country's rules you would require a valid visa. In this case you would also require to carry your valid passport of home country.

He should apply for US citizenship first. After taking all the necessary steps, he will become a US citizen (takes several months to be done).When he receives his certificate of US citizenship, then he can apply for an American passport.

Can I go to Russia with my green card I am a resident of Florida I don't have a US passport?
If you have a valid passport from another country then yes, you may travel to Russia. Please note: For almost all countries, Russia requires a valid passport and visa to cross their border. Apply for the visa in advance. Russia really doesn't care about your US green card. The USA recently (2008) changed their rules and require a valid passport to enter into the country by air from anywhere in the world. Your green card will serve as the visa. {Exception: US citizens may travel to Hawaii and US territories without a pasport.}
