Berryville Man Files Federal Lawsuit Over FOIA Response
Edward Leonard @ Clarke Daily News
A local man is asking a United States federal court to help him gain access to information related to the citizenship history of President Barack Obama.
Berryville resident, George Archibald has petitioned the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and former White House Counsel Robert Bauer to produce documents that Archibald says may provide new insight into whether the President’s mother forfeited his US citizenship when Obama was just six-years-old.
If Archibald’s suspicion is correct it would raise important questions about the legitimacy of Obama’s qualifications to hold the office of President of the United States.
“I’m not a ‘birther,’’’ Archibald said after filing his lawsuit. “I’m simply interested in getting to the bottom of what appears to be stone-walling by the administration against my Freedom of Information request.”
In the suit, filed on November 16 in the District of Columbia, Archibald alleges that a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that he filed with the FBI’s Winchester, Virginia office on April 15, 2011 asking for information produced during the FBI’s background check of presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama II was improperly rejected. In the FOIA request Archibald asks for “information regarding Obama’s birth in 1961, family background, citizenship, residency, immigration, expatriation/repatriation, and other matters related to Obama’ s origins and nationality generated during the FBI’s 2008 investigation of presidential candidates.”
Archibald’s request is based on President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450, “Security Requirements for Government Employment,” issued in 1953. Under the Eisenhower directive, the FBI conducts background checks on all presidential candidates. Archibald is seeking information that may have turned up in the FBI investigation related to Barach Obama’s citizenship status after his mother wed an Indonesian citizen.
Archibald believes that after Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, arrived in Djakarta with her young son in 1967, who he says was adopted by stepfather Lolo Soetoro, Barry Obama maintained permanent residency and schooling in Indonesia until 1971 before returning to Honolulu in 1979 to live with his maternal grandparents where he attended high school and later graduated. Archibald contends that Indonesian authorities would have required the young Obama to naturalize in order to remain in the country and attend school.
“The fact that your mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, took you [Barach Obama] to live in Indonesia in 1967, at age six, after she had divorced your father and married Indonesian national Lolo Soetoro – where after arrival at Djakarta you both were temporarily refused admission by Indonesian authorities, who balked at your dual U.S.-Kenya nationality,” Archibald said in an open letter to Obama asking the President to release the information requested in the lawsuit.

Since Taitz v. Astrue is binding precedent in the District of Columbia District Court, this lawsuit is doomed.
Watch for Answer and Motion for Summary Judgment. Summary judgment is a disposition on the merits.
Mr. Archibald,
the FBI does not do background checks on any federal candidates for office.. the obama/holder DOJ doesn't want you or America to know that. It's their dirty big secret.
soetoro/obama has an 'executive order' that lets DOJ determine what can or cannot be released! You betcha DOJ will not let soetoro/obama's records be released, even if the court tries to compel them!
Remove Eric Holder and we might have a chance, or not.

In your mind, if Taitz v Astrue is binding precedent in the District of Columbia and that it confirms all other suits in this matter will fail afterwards, I surmise in a similar situation that Minor v Happerset sets binding precedent over Wong Kim Ark v United States and those suits afterwards also fail to change the Minor ruling which in it confirms a natural born citizen is born of citizen parents (plural).
@Pamela Barnett
First off, thank you for your service!
Second, you are of course correct that the FBI does not do background checks on any candidate for Federal office. If that were the case there's no way in hell Obama would have passed such a check given his legacy associations with many of the most radical Communists, Marxists and Socialists in American history -- including one, William (Bill) Ayers, who admittedly bombed a couple Federal buildings in the 1960's.

Where have you been for the last 3 yrs man..? Only the rulings that "FAVOR" the SERPENT are binding. Just ask any COMUNIST TRAITOR..!
@Covert Informant:
The latest CRS report very plainly explains that Minor is not binding precedent with respect to the definition of natural born citizen.
O.whodat released his nativity records,albeit forged ones,and is standing by them as his official birth documents. Therefore he was born a dual citizen and did not have two citizen parents of the soil, America,that he is claiming as his birthplace. He IS NOT and NEVER WILL BE a natural born citizen and is ineligible for the office he is posing in by Article.II Section.1 of the Constitution of the USA. The other citizenships,names and ideology he gathered while globe trotting with his "secular humanist" slut Mom are interesting, but irrelevant because he was ineligible to hold the office he is squatting in since the day he was born, wherever he was downloaded and to whomever...he is a FRAUD. O.whodat deserves only to be investigated, indicted and incarcerated for the rest of his invented life.
1: When Maskill spends paragraphs on Wong Kim Ark, and cites a collection of obscure cases, but doesn't cite the very first citiation used by Justice Gray in Wong Kim Ark, citing Minor v. Happersett, the case which turned common law into precedence, the case George Soros' employees obscured by scrubbing twenty five or twenty six supreme court cases of their citations to Minor v. Happersett during the Summer of 2008, Maskill has created another “Snow Job.”
When a justice department attorney uses this statement “The term “natural born” citizen is not defined in the Constitution, and there is no discussion of the term evident in the notes of the Federal Convention of 1787,” you are being intentionally confused. Try to find any term defined in the Constitution, other than “Treason” This is evil sophistry.
Minor v. Happesett is a wonderful example of what the Supreme Court was chartered to do, interpret the Constitution. The only definition provided by the Constitution for a citizen of the US before the 14th Amendment was that provided for eligibility of our president, by far the largest class of citizens in the US, natural born citizens. It was common law, made precedence in Minor v. Happersett. It was cited as dictum by founder, framer, and our 4th Chief Justice, John Marshall in the Venus, 1814. Marshall cited Vattel as the most concise source for the definition, but Chief Justice Waite, in 1874 cited no one. He turned common law into positive law - precedence - stare decisis.
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

2: Elizabeth Minor was a natural born citizen, and thus a citizen, before the 14th Amendment was passed in 1868. This fact was essential to the decision, and was cited by several dozen other supreme court cases, including Ex. Parte Lockwood, which did more the cite. In the Lockwood decision, in a paragraph scrubbed on the Cornell Law site by Soros’ Center for American Progress operative, are the words “Happersett...held...” Those words affirm the recognition of the precedence established by Minor v. Happersett.
Many if not most constitutional law faculty know the truth of this travesty - the scrubbing of historical documents accessible to the public. The correct citations are, of course, still present on the paper documents in our national archives, and in the digital copies available at the subscription legal services, Lexis, and Westlaw. But the most frequently cited source of legal references, Justia.com, had the twenty five relevent documents edited in the Summer of 2008. Justia has since blocked access to the Google archives of its pages, and has now replaced the corrupted documents with corrections, returning the documents to their pre-2008 state.
This document by Jack Maskill is yet another set of intentional misdirection. Minor v. Happersett could not be more clear. Thanks to Bill Clinton, we have thought about “What is is.” A person born on our soil to citizen parents is a natural born citizen. Is does not mean inclusion, it means identity. Without Article II Section 1 Minor v. Happersett could not have been decided. Read Minor v. Happersett. About natural born citizens there was never doubt. About who were citizens there was doubt. About Elizabeth Minor's status, for the court to have jurisdiction, there could be no doubt - and there wasn't. She was a natural born citizen. Our Congressional Research Service has been paid with our tax dollars to lie to us and to confuse those who haven't read original documents. Wong Kim Ark was not made a natural born citizen, and Justice Gray, who wrote the decision, cited Minor v. Happersett, a unanimous confirmation of the definition of who were natural born citizens. Justice Gray was also on the court which wrote Ex. Parte Lockwood, and confirmed the holding in Minor. Our government and most of our legislators are traitors to our Constitution. There is no doubt if you first read original sources, in this case, Minor v. Happersett. You will see, because Chief Justice Waite explains, why he turned common-law into positive law. As Waite said, “It was never doubted...”

The latest CRS report ripped apart!

There is not one court in the United States that will hear the arguments, assess them and return a decision that is based on the facts. "There is none righteous, not even one." (Rom. 3:10)
I hope I'm proven wrong.
PREDICTION: Obama's ineligibility and crimes are gaining traction around the country. The more reports that come out with the truth of his crimes, the closer the nation will be to him “manufacturing a crisis” ( a la Cloward-Piven) that would effectively put a hold on any legal actions concerning him. He will have the full cooperation of DOJ, FBI, CIA, Military, etc. Obama is not about to allow himself to be criminally charged and stand trial, and will take any measure to preclude that from happening.
Soetoro-bounel-obama declared in a speech in Europe, before being placed in position of Potus,
that he is a citizen of the world, which makes sense since his supposed mother was
World-Wide-Whore that that had sex with ant nationality other than white. So he admits he should be on the "who's my baby daddy" show.
I wonder what the FBI would have found out about his adult relationships. Only one sexual partner has come forward, a man, and a bunch of gay chicago men from his church ended up dead coincedentally.
He did not exist until age three or four, no infant pics exist of him in Hawaii. No doctors nurses or neighbors came forward to say they were at the birth or soon thereafter. Only a communist governor remembers everything.
When first I became aware of Barry's status and his transgressions shortly before the 2008 election, I, like most of you had hopes that this scum bag was soon to be a memory. But over the ensuing years, it has become crystal clear to me that the fix is in. This Maskill #2 bullshit is yet more evidence of the deception, dishonesty, and outright lying these low life scums will unleash to protect their guy. This is not un-American, it's anti-American. Consider the total absence of respect for the rule of law that not one, but every single individual of influence in our society refuses to consider or discuss the constitutional issue before us. For what? To protect a marxist politician? He is but one man. We are a nation and a constitutional republic - what kind of people are willing to sacrifice our very foundation to protect one man, no matter who that man might be? The answer is obvious.
I have no reason to suspect, let alone believe, that we will ever get anything resembling justice on Barry. These ballot challenges, this FOIA suit, Sheriff Joe - all will produce zero results and won't get a breath in the media.
If this doesn't shed a dim light on the character of our great nation, nothing ever will. Makes me sad.
Ignorant can be fixed. Stupid is forever.

It is amazing, disgusting, and beyond belief that an agency like the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, US Marines, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force cannot investigate what private investigators have already found documented, and signed affidavits of authenticity sighting criminal acts of barry soetero.
Only one conclusion to this nonsense, the CONgress,courts,etc. the entire structure of the US Republic and it's historic government has been in fact, transformed. There is NOT ONE member of government with integrity against this crime. There will be only one resolve. A movement so large of citizens demanding their country back and forming citizen grand juries and tribunals to prosecute from the top down all the traitors against we the people. Most likely it will get nasty, but then again, freedom has a high cost.
@Covert Informant
Hey Covert, your reply demonstrates that you are clueless abiut the ruling in Taitz v. Astrue. It was a FOIA case, addressing the exemptions under the Act that authorize agencies to withhold documents about persons who are living.
This poor bastard's lawsuit is a FOIA case about an agency's withholding of documents about an individual who is living.
Minor v. Happersett is not binding precedent because it had nothing to do with FOIA.
Stupid arguments like yours is why birthers fail in court. What is it? Like 84+ times now?
Yeah, Racer Jim, that was an outstanding comment -- it stands out as proof that Covert pulls this stuff out of his anus.
Your a liar....Minor is binding precedent on who is a natural born citizen u asshole obot!!..Go spread ur bullshit somewhere else..It is not welcome here!!
Under his guidance, the hat letters should be "FIB".
Obama’s Indonesian citizenship as a child is not relevant, unless he kept that citizenship beyond the age of majority.
If born in Hawaii, Obama would be a citizen at birth (per the current interpretation of the 14th amendment), but he would not be a natural born citizen due to the fact of Obama Senior’s foreign citizenship.
The US Supreme Court, in the 1939 case of Perkins v. Elg, ruled that US citizen children do not lose their US citizenship on account of the actions of the parents. Hence, Obama would not have lost his US citizen status during his years as a child in Indonesia.
Marie Elg was born in NY in 1907 to naturalized US citizen parents who emigrated from Sweden. They then took her back to Sweden and she was given Swedish citizenship. When Marie Elg reached the age of majority, she abandoned her Swedish citizenship and returned to the US claiming to be a US citizen. Her case wound its way to the Supreme Court, and they affirmed that she never lost her US citizenship and that she was a natural born citizen (born in the country to citizen parents).
Marie Elg chose to keep her US citizenship by abandoning her childhood foreign citizenship. If upon reaching the age of majority, Obama had Indonesian citizenship and chose to keep it, then it can be argued that he forfeited his US citizenship at that time. If he did forfeit it, then he could have only gotten it back as a naturalized citizen, a type of citizen that is ineligible to be President.
"There is this infant picture:"
My God how long have the Obots been paid now 24/7/365 with taxpayer money to defend the Usurper on the Internet? I think of that "stimulus" package and what it really paid for. Whenever BHO is finally dragged before the Courts for his great crimes, these enablers will be found and dragged in front of it too.
@Anonymous November 30, 2011 3:40 PM
Hey Anonymous, your reply makes it obvious that you either didn't comprehend Covert's point or did but chose to obfuscate it.
Dumb or smoke and mirrors replies like yours is why Obama now has the lowest approval rating of any president in history at this point in their presidency. What is it? Maybe 40%?
Yeah Anonymous, excellent comment -- proof that your head is buried in Obama's anus.

When ANYONE has evidence of a crime, the correct procedure is to present that evidence to a LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (Such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio in metro Phoenix). The law enforcement agency can be local, county, state or federal, like the FBI. If the law enforcement agency feels that the evidence is solid, they turn it over to a prosecuting attorney. That can be a city attorney, a county District Attorney, a state Attorney General's office, a US Attorney or the US Attorney General.
If prosecutors feel that the evidence is solid, they will convene a Grand Jury investigation and if the Grand Jury, made up of average citizens, feels that a crime MAY have been committed, the Grand Jury will issue indictments and a CRIMINAL trial will be held.
No one has attempted a grand jury investigation or criminal indictments against Obama or anyone connected with Obama fot any crime, such as election fraud, forgery, perjury or criminal fraud.
Until that happens, all those internet examinations are worthless.

That's very rich. The absolutely insane Lyndon LaRouche (The guy who once suggested his supporters go around randomly lynching gay people) is suggesting Obama is insane....
Wow... To what depths will you birthers sink in your hatred of Obama?
well ...forgery and election fraud are serious enough but I got a REAL newsflash for everyone ..
apparently Issa and Grassley have just decided to give up on the HOC "fast and furious " hearings ,essentially this means that BHO ,holder and napalitano have gotten away with perjury,international arms smuggling ,aiding ,arming and abetting a terrorist organization at WAR with an allied govt and MASS MURDER (aprox 200 civillians dead in mexico so far )..oh ..and two US lawmen too.
see chuck grassley's latest speech on YT per "holder and DHS napaltano " where he pretty much CLEARLY,proves at least ,perjury by these two odious commissars ..perjury =cover-up ,does it not ?
anyone here old enough to remember how the HEROIC woodward and bernstein doggedly exposed the Nixon WH as complicit in the attempted COVER-UP of a mere burglery of the DNC HQ in the Watergate complex ?
the house DEMs forced NIXON to resign in disgrace ,not for the bungled burglary (which nixon did NOT know of )..but for the following bungled COVER-UP ..
the obama WH commited what WE would call terrorisim were it done to us by canada or mexico .and btw ,hundreds of innocent mexicans have been MURDERED thus far ..and these weapons will kill MANY more in the decades to come ..
no prosecutions ,no firings ,no resignations of anyone in the DOJ or ATF,NObody is to blame and now Issa and grassly are throwing in the towel .the "forger in chief" is gonna skate AGAIN .no harm ,no foul,no problem ..
except for agt dodson and the other brave ,front line ATF whistle blowers who broke the story .. they are getting seriously f#ked over ,of course .
we have to face up to the fact that the American " rule of law " is virtually NULL AND VOID.
“The Taitz v. Astrue was a FOIA case addressing the exemptions under the Act that authorize agencies to withhold documents about persons who are living.”
Not so. Taitz was NOT seeking information about a LIVING person, but information about a DEAD person. The social security number 042-68-4425 was issued in Connecticut to an individual who was born in 1890. Obama never lived in Connecticut and was not born in 1890, so that social security number could not possibly be legally his. This is confirmed by E-verify which reports that social security number as invalid. Astrue was legally bound under the law to provide the requested information.
“Obama’s indonesian citizenship as a child is not relevant, unless he kept that citizenship beyond the age of majority.”
This is why it is important to learn whether Obama applied for colledge scholarships as a foreign student and whether he traveled to Pakistan on an indonesian passport.
