Does Brazil allow dual citizenship with the US?

Answer
Yes. Brazilian Constitution (Art. 12, §4, II) preserves Brazilian citizenship when US naturalization is a condition for permanence or civil rights — which applies to virtually every Brazilian living in the US. US side also recognizes dual citizenship. In practice: travel with both passports.
