Doesn't a US Citizen have to rnounce their loyalty to any other state or king?
That's part of the oath of naturalization... but it's simply a ritualistic symbol. Since foreign nations are sovereign states, they have no obligation to recognize any renunciation made at naturalization, and most folks remain dual citizens even after having taken the oath.
US citizens at birth take no oath, and there is no requirement under US law that they renounce US citizenship to become citizens of other nations.
She rather clearly meets both sets of requirements.
Thanks for your information. I suspect she's not the only member of Congress to have dual citizenship. Check all the Irishmen in Congress, now or previously. I think there will be a long list. But I doubt any/many would want that known publicly.

Not just congress. At least the following Presidents have all been dual citizens:
Tyler, Taft, Truman, Arther, Eisenhower, FDR and JFK,
She qualifies automatically for dual citizenship, and so do the children, but she needs to fill out paperwork for the citizenship to be recognized.
There is no issue with holding dual citizenships.
Obama himself held dual citizenshps until he was 18, and the left defended that to no end, now all of a sudden they have issue with it.
I just thought a "Real Patriotic American" from the Right like Bachmann who talks a very patriotic game wouldn't be going out and giving her allegiance to other nations.
On the other hand... then can go ahead and keep her!
I believe Bachmann serves on the intelligence committee.
We can all hope that some of it will rub off on her.
