Michelle Bachmann versus the Birthers

Anonymous pointed out this amusing little thread. It seems Michelle Bachmann's husband registered as a Swiss Citizen recently, thus automatically making her a Swiss Citizen. But, see, among the other crap Birthers have been throwing at the wall, the idea that Obama is a US-British Citizen due to his father is among their myriad reasons why Obama isn't 'Natural Born.' Watch them spin!

First, some introductory remarks:

Semper911 chalks the whole thing up to Bachmann's laudable paranoia:
Does her SHTF plan involve Swiss Franks and an Alpine “vaction home”?
No doubt. And I believe every Swiss citizen in the country is still required to keep a long gun in their home.
The Swiss don't mess around.
Then, Freeper treasure Uncle Slayton points out:
As a duel citizen, she will no longer be qualified for the presidency.
The content may be strong, but 'duel citizen' really propels it to genius levels.

kabar provides needed background:
It would make an interesting Constitutional case. I doubt such a person could be elected if the public knew that the candidate held dual citizenship. There is some speculation that Obama by virtue of his father, a British subject, obtained a British passport. No proof however.
Gay State Conservative isn't sure of the law, but is sure liberals would act all birther!
I'm almost certain that that's not correct...but not 100% certain.Even if it's wrong you know the Rats will scream bloody murder if she ran..or was even the Veep nominee."How dare this traitor to our great nation think she can serve this country! Where do her *real* loyalties lie?"
Semper911 is embracing a birther double standard just to spite Democrats:
No one gives a damn about presidential qualifications anymore. I would love love love for her to run again and have the Dems try to bring it up. Same goes for Rubio and Jindal.
Gay State Conservative follows up be lamenting how crazed hypothetical Democratic birthers are.
This Rat Party rag wants us to think that Rep Bachmann is some kind of disloyal,scheming foreigner (sound familiar?).She obviously had no choice in the matter but she *can* renounce her Swiss citizenship.And doing so might be wise,politically,knowing the filthbag Rats.
