You can't, only citizens are issued passports. You can re-enter the US on your green card.

When you travel you are asked your country of citizenship when entering another country. You are not a US citizen so you can claim that you are. When you enter another country you still have to delcare the country of your birth as country of citizenship. You should have a passport from the country where you were born, this passport is supposed to have your US Visa in it and should be used to travel.

Once you become an American citizen you can obtain a US passport.

Do not trust unreliable sources...

As a green card holder, you must hold your original passport issued from your home country. If it expires, contact the nearest consulate for renewal.

When you enter US, you need to submit passport and green card.

You can apply for US passport after you become naturalized and received Certificate of Naturalization.

Pick the place you want to go, contact a travel agency and they will get the travel passport for you.... Or go to immigration office and request a travel passport there, it will take longer but cheaper than in any travel agency.
