Michele Bachmann claims Swiss citizenship [View all]

Rep. Michelle Bachmann is now officially a Swiss miss.

Bachmann (R-Minn.) recently became a citizen of Switzerland, making her eligible to run for office in the tiny European nation, according to a Swiss report Tuesday.

Arthur Honegger, a reporter for Swiss public broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen, told POLITICO the Swiss consulate in Chicago has confirmed that the former Republican presidential candidate became a citizen on March 19, 2012.

The Swiss consulate in Chicago covers the state of Minnesota, which Bachmann represents.

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.

WHAT? She's a citizen of that SOCIALIST nation SWITZERLAND, with not just universal health care (ObamaCare on steroids) but also FRENCH people????

One of my friends posted this story on facebook with the comment "can we export her now?", but the facebook link didn't display the title. Haha, greatest surprise of the day!
