Solution

I believe this question has answers that will work for you. I'll post summaries here for convenience.

From Ryan McGeary:

The session with Twitter is defined by a cookie owned by Twitter -- something you do not have control over. You cannot log them out of Twitter on their behalf.

If you want someone to be able to use your "switch twitter account" functionality, you'll need to pass them off to the OAuth handshake again, but use the /oauth/authorize path instead of the /oauth/authenticate path. This will allow the user to switch their user credentials at Twitter during the handshake instead of just re-authenticating using their existing Twitter session.

From abraham:

You can use oauth/authenticate and add force_login=true as specified in http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/oauth/authenticate*. This will prompt the user with a login form.
