Michelle Bachmann becomes Swiss citizen
I feel like there are so many Stewart/Colbert jokes here.
Michele Bachmann is now a Swiss citizen.
The Minnesota congresswoman and former Republican presidential candidate was recently granted dual citizenship, Bachmann's office confirmed Tuesday night, according to CNN.
"Congresswoman Bachmann's husband is of Swiss descent so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978," spokeswoman Becky Rogness said in a statement. "However, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family."
And, according to an interview with Swiss TV, Bachmann, who is currently seeking a fourth term in Congress after her failed bid for the White House, is now also eligible to run for office in the tiny European country.
Asked if she'd be interested in seeking office in Switzerland, Bachmann joked that "there's a lot of competition ... and they're very good."

Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
Two things:
1) Can you imagine the outcry from Republicans if Obama had dual citizenship?
2) I used to have dual citizenship and it turned the process for getting a security clearance into a nightmare.
HER FAMILY IS FULL OF TRAITORS!
Also, WHY do her kids want dual citizenship? Don't they love America? Do they have some devious plans to turn the US into a European socialist hell?
All valid points - quick, tune in to FOX news to find out. They must be screaming about this, right?
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DIt shocks me that she's traveled outside the country/to Switzerland. I'm assuming now that she has, but I'm still not convinced.
My SIL has dual citizenship, but it's US/Canada. She was born in Toronto. If I had dual citizenship, you'd better believe I'd move to Toronto! That would be awesome. Actually, growing up on the border, I knew several people with dual citizenship, either because they were born in one country and their parents were citizens in the other, or they had a parent from each country.
