I'm pretty sure that 5 year rule applies to all POTUS not just Obama. In fairness its a lot of information and they need time to organize it in a way that makes it easy to respond to FOIA requests. They have to determine whats top secret, make redactions, etc etc. Basically government bureaucrats covering their asses.
I'm sure if they had it the way they really wanted it would be 50 years instead of 5. Although I suspect a lot of the FOIA requests in the next few weeks will result in nothing but pages full of black redaction marks. I doubt they will allow anything truly explosive to escape into the wild.
Correct. The Presidential Records Act and the Executive Order discussing how it is implemented applies to all presidents. Obama and Trump have the same 5 year rule.....but a court can make exceptions like what is happening with Trump and Jan 6.
