FALSE!
From the article:
"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."This is Bachmann's own spokeswoman who says that Michele's husband's nationality only made her "eligible" since 1978; and that she by her own volition, voluntary exercised that "eligibility" to become a Swiss citizen. Without her voluntary exercise of that mere eligibility she would NOT have been a Swiss citizen.
This is a major disappointment to me. To hide behind claims of MSM bias reporting is to hide from reality.
DUAL CITIZENSHIP = DIVIDED LOYALTY
Those who claim otherwise should do some soul-searching.
(How would FReepers view dual citizenship for Obama or other Leftist?)
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?
