So waht?
I don’t think Michelle is much of a threat. Her family all went for dual citizenship because they could, and it makes sense. I would feel safer travelling on a Swiss passport than a USA one.
As to the question of whether she should have done that as a member of Congress, and the general question about that: again, not much of a threat because it is out in the open and if we ever get into a strained relationship with a country for which some congressmen are dual citizens, then appropriate action can be taken to protect secrets. They remain citizens of the USA and have all the obligations and responsibilities that go with that.
In my opinion the NOFORN classification is ridiculous and lazy. We should be more discriminating than that.

You can’t seriously be thinking there’s material that CANNOT be shared outside the US? Even thinking generically I can come up with generic topics that would be damaging like loss of techniques, current access and most importantly – human assets.

She herself is probably not a threat – she’s just too damn dumb.

Absolutely, I lie all the time when I travel with the point of entry being the only time my passport betrays me. However, with the rise of biometrics, one is certainly not immune from being identified regardless of the passport you’ve chosen to travel on (unless 3rd world is your destination of choice).

So all of a sudden it’s okay to be dual citizens with Switzerland without asking. What if some congressional representative wanted dual citizenship with Russia, China or Iran? Same thing right? Just let them have it and deal with it later?
They remain citizens of the USA and have all the obligations and responsibilities that go with that.
Because congressional representatives have shown such diligence in adhering to the obligations and responsibilities of being an American, right? But technically, now they’re also citizens of X and have all the obligations and responsibilities that go along with that as well.
