Michelle Bachmann Dual US/Swiss Citizen Since 1978

But she never revealed her status while running for office, or for president...

On Wednesday, Bachmann’s office insisted she’d been a dual citizen for much longer.
“I automatically became a dual citizen of the United States and Switzerland in 1978 when I married my husband, Marcus. Marcus is a dual American and Swiss citizen because he is the son of Swiss immigrants. As a family, we just recently updated our documents,” the Minnesota Republican and former presidential candidate said in a statement. “This is a non-story.”

But her claim that she has been a Swiss citizen since 1978 raised questions about why, if that’s true, she didn’t disclose this while running for Congress and president of the United States.

Her office said she didn’t need to.

“It wasn’t necessary to disclose, because she is an American citizen and always has been. She has a United States birth certificate and a United States passport,” Bachmann spokesperson Becky Rogness told POLITICO on Wednesday evening.

She didn't do this for healthcare, she is covered by the best in the world, congressional bennie. No big deal.
maybe her kids , 40 or so, they are better off there. Great to have a family thing going.

Dang... Don't you hate it when that happens? A perfectly good "un-American" rant blown all to hell...

So what does that matter to you liberals who are in bed with Obama? Or are you being hypocrital? (Something that you say that you hate?)

It matters to me because she has run for national public office in the United States and never disclosed that she is also a citizen of another country.

It's like... i don't know... something the voters should have been told maybe?

Actually, using the words "Michelle Bachmann", and "hypocrite" in the same sentence is redundant....

Imagine if this had come out AFTER she was elected president.

It would have been swept under the rug and dismissed as a non-issue. Anyone bringing it up would have been labelled a kook.

The way I understand it is that the US doesn't recognize dual citizenship. Boy the liberal media attack dogs missed this. Maybe they should have been investigating rather than hinting at her husband's sexuality.'
