NO. Just more involved and hoops to jump through.
INS would be the one that can answer those questions.

Admittedly I haven't spent a lot of time on it, but I've been trying to see if my German born mother was a US citizen or not when I was born. I can't ask her or her sister, since they have both passed away.
Do you know if she gave up the German citizenship when she became a US citizen? That might be the easier way to start looking at this. Depending on when she moved to the US, there might also be a couple of other, not quite that simple options.
That said, it used to be a lot harder to retain your German citizenship when accepting another citizenship. Germany really doesn't like dual citizenship and they've only relaxed the requirements in the past ten years or so.

I was born in 1970. British Father, American Mother. Dad got his US citizenship in 1972 (after 2 tours in Vietnam in the US Army, he says they never asked). I have dual citizenship and can use either passport. It has never been an issue.
