Battle of the Ex-Kibbutzniks for POTUS

Bernie Sanders, of course, for the Democrats http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/09/politics/bernie-sanders-kibbutz-volunteer-israel/ and Michele Bachmann for the Republicans http://jezebel.com/5832628/michele-bachmanns-hand-written-kibbutz-letter-is-kind-of-sweet

Can anyone here think of any other possibilities? Rahm Emanuel and his brothers attended a summer camp in Israel in the late 1960's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel but I haven't been able to determine if that camp was attached to a kibbutz (as I understand many were in those days).

BTW, there *is* a former kibbutz volunteer who is currently president--but not of the US or Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Fischer
