everyone who either naturalizes or is a citizen born outside the US has PROOF of their citizenship; if they've lost it, they can get a duplicate copy.
If I lose my birth certificate, I have to appy to the County Registrar to get a duplicate. It's not impossible, and isn't an extraordinary burden to exercising one's suffrage.

Sven-- Not completely true on your second point. PA, in which I was born, hasn't used county clerks for that function since the 1930's. There is a state agency for that. But point taken.
On your first point-- I can't speak for now; but when my children were naturalized in the 1980's we were told (in almost these words):"If you lose this certificate, it can't be replaced." Puts the fear of God in you. My mind may be a little hazy because that was a ways ago; but I don't think I was imagining it. Still, given the realities of modern life, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

I hope that what you were told about your childrens' naturalization certificates is NOT true. That would be quite ridiculous, to NOT be able to replace such an important document. I hope whoever told you that was mistaken. If not, it sounds like the Congress has some work to do with ICE.
