Of course. I've applied for a passport several times in my life.
That’s right, curiosity. The US Passport Examiner has the option to reject an incorrectly filled out application and demand the applicant file a corrected application before the passport is renewed.
If the name struck on the application was a mistake, the Passport examiner would have returned to the SAD Soetoro to ensure there is not a misunderstanding about her declaration.
And you know this how? What possible basis do you have for this contention of yours? Have you actually asked a passport examiner?
Since the name stike concerns a person being removed from her passport because that person renounced their citizenship,
What makes you think that is what a name strike indicates?
Passport examiners review the passport application and return it to the applicant if a mistake is found. Your theory is premised on the fact SAD Soetoro made a mistake on the application and it was processed with the mistake contrary to Foreign Affairs Manual procedures, circa 1968.
My theory is that a mistake was not made. The name strike is within tolerance per Foreign Affairs Manual procedure, ca. 1968, and the declaration made by the applicant is supported with a supplementary explanation attached to the application. The supplementary explanation was withheld by the State Dept due to privacy concerns of Barack Hussein Obama (Soebarkah).
