Michele Bachmann can now run for office in Switzerland
Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann became a citizen of Switzerland in March, giving her dual-citizenship status with the European country and the U.S.
How in delicious hot chocolate hell did this happen?!
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 …
Even though she can if she wants to, Bachmann says she has no plans on running for office in the most vanilla country in all of Europe.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 12:32amThis is an asinine story, not worthy of The Blaze. Not surprisingly, the Politico had it wrong (and probably not by accident). MB received her dual citizenship in 1978 when she married her husband, a Swiss national. She did not receive it in March. “Conservatives” who attacked her on this were either ignorant or malevolent. Beyond that, EQUALJUSTICE is right on target.
