The Clearfield Doctrine (which Larry probably can't find, either) arises from a 1943 Supreme Court Case, Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States, 318 US 363-371.
The essence of the case is that when an incorporated government uses private bank script as its currency it sinks to the level of any other incorporated entity, loses its sovereign status (if it ever had any) and becomes subject to the same laws as any other corporation.
You can look up the actual case to your heart's delight, but it is also reprised in CJS, as I was kindly reminded tonight by a friend:
Corpus Juris Secundum (CJS) 91 CJS United States sec. 4
".....when the United States enters into commercial business it abandons its sovereign capacity and is to be treated like any other corporation."
Now, if you have followed along you know that the British Territorial United States was never sovereign with respect to us. It was merely a contractor providing us with specific governmental services and acting under our delegated power to do so. All "federal" powers were delegated to them and all federal powers are limited to the international jurisdiction of the sea.
