MOSCOW, January 31 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law Wednesday a bill prohibiting people with dual citizenship from occupying the posts of prime minister, deputy prime ministers or Federal ministers.
The Russian parliament's upper and lower houses passed the bill January 19 and 24, respectively.
The law limits the appointment of Russian citizens to the posts of prime minister, deputy prime ministers and Federal ministers who have residency permits or any other documents permitting them to reside in a foreign country. Subscribe to *Russia*

Good for Putin! Good for Russia!
I wish that the US Congress would pass a similar law and that it would also exclude dual citizens from being appointed to gov't policy level positions.
This is just common sense.
