No you have that backwards
When an American citizen gives up their citizenship one of the first things to happen is that the IRS takes you to tax court under the assumption that no one would ever leave America unless it was to skip out on taxes. Mostly it's a roadblock to make the task harder and more time consuming but there's not an awful lot they can do, ultimately other than being a bother and wasting a great deal of time. There are at least a dozen countries that have fairly lax laws of ingathering so there's a large number of Americans who qualify for near-instant citizenship in other countries. At that point, one can give up their American citizenship and passport.
