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 on March 19. Once he did so, Michele automatically became a citizen, too, according to the Honegger.
"Automatically",it seems to me,is the key word.So which explanation is correct?
All citizenships require an oath! Eligibility was automatic, but actual citizenship required more and that she did not do since 1978 - until she lost her bid for the Presidency. Shame!
