I don't know, but it's an interesting question.
These are women who became citizens sort of accidentally. As I understand it, they didn't swear the oath of allegiance to our country, they just entered into the marriage commitment to an American citizen.
I think to be consistent he would have to say, well, such women were citizens.
But since when have birthers ever cared about consistency? They care nothing about consistency, and they only care the evidence to the extent that they can find some scrap of it that at least seems to imply their claims are correct. The rest of it can be thrown under the bus.
So I don't know. I guess we'll see what he says.
I think you can have allegiance to your husband without necessarily having allegiance to his nation.
In May 2012, it was reported that Marcus Bachmann had registered for Swiss citizenship and after it was finalized, Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann automatically became a Swiss citizen as well. The Bachmanns and their three youngest children were granted Swiss citizenship on March 19, 2012. They had been eligible for this under Swiss nationality law because Marcus Bachmann’s parents were Swiss. Bachmann denied that she or her husband had recently applied for Swiss citizenship, saying that her husband had already been a dual citizen as the son of Swiss immigrants, and that she had automatically acquired Swiss citizenship under then-current Swiss law when she married him in 1978; however, when asked by a Swiss Television reporter on May 8, 2012, “I understand you just got Swiss Citizenship,” Bachmann’s reply was, “Yes, we did.” Marcus Bachmann did not register the marriage with the Swiss authorities until 2012. Within two days of the first reports of Bachmann’s dual citizenship, she announced that she had written to the Swiss consulate to have her Swiss citizenship withdrawn.
