"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.
