An American can lose citizenship for varying reasons. Some of these reasons include being convicted for treason, voluntarily renouncing U.S. citizenship and obtaining naturalization in a foreign state.
It depends on the circumstances.
By international law, it is illegal to strip somebody of their citizenship if this would render them stateless. If you are a US citizen and are not a citizen of ANYWHERE else and nobody else will give you citizenship or take you in, you cannot be stripped of your citizenship.
If you have Dual Citizenship, (like if you have American and Canadian citizenship) then you can be stripped of your citizenship for things like treason. Most likely though, the government will just throw you in jail and not worry about trifles like citizenship.

There are actually 7 ways, but mainly becoming naturalized in another state, working for a foreign govt or committing treason.
Yes. You only loss your citizenship if found guilty of treason.
Arnold was trading secrets to and from both sides of the war committing an act of treason.
Treason against the English monarchy.
No. Suppose you are a citizen of Venezuela and a U.S. citizen, living in USA. If unclesam attacks Venezuela because Chavez attacked an ally, Colombia, you would NOT be convicted of treason! However, suppose you acted as a spy for Chavez and FBI got you, then of course you could be tried and convicted for treason. I doubt that U.S. will ever intern U.S. citizens of foreign origins during a war, like the Japanese and German Americans during WWII.
Treason against the English monarchy.
That is the definition of the word traitor.
"After the war, the collaborators were charged with treason against their country." "When Benedict Arnold gave secret information to the British, he was committing treason." "Treason during wartime was often punishable by death."

Treason
No, once you have been born into a country you remain a citizen of that country even if you immigrate. Certain rights of a US citizen can be suspended or revoked if that person has been convicted of a criminal felony.
To be hung by committing treason.
