Michelle Bachmann recently became a citizen of Switzerland By Devvy Kidd 5-8-12 Links are generally posted at my web site http://devvy.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/alerts/226544575082/ ______________ I wonder if she is going to move there? Haven't seen anything about her not running for her congressional seat again. Seems an odd thing to do. Just because her husband is originally from Switzerland , how many Americans go for dual citizenship as described below? http://devvy.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/alerts/377528374799/ Rep. Michele Bachmann is now officially a Swiss miss. Bachmann (R-Minn.) recently became a citizen of Switzerland , making her eligible to run for office in the tiny European nation, according to a Swiss TV report Tuesday. Arthur Honegger, a reporter for public broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen, told POLITICO the Swiss consulate in Chicago has confirmed that the former Republican presidential candidate became a citizen March 19. The Swiss consulate in Chicago covers the state of Minnesota , which Bachmann represents. Marcus Bachmann, the congresswoman’s husband since 1978, reportedly was eligible for Swiss citizenship due to his parents’ nationality — but only registered it with the Swiss government Feb. 15. Once the process was finalized on March 19, Michele automatically became a citizen as well, according to Honegger. Bachmann’s three youngest children are also now Swiss citizens, and her two older children are eligible to apply for a fast-track citizenship process, according to an email from the consulate provided and translated by Honegger. Bachmann’s office confirmed that the congresswoman had received Swiss citizenship, and attributed the decision to her children. “Congresswoman Bachmann’s husband is of Swiss descent, so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978. However, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family,” said Bachmann spokesperson Becky Rogness. The Minnesota congresswoman was interviewed by Swiss national public television in D.C. on Tuesday while with a group of Swiss parliamentarians. Rest at link above.
