I guess FOIA doesn’t emanate from the Constitution either?

  No, of course not. It's a law passed by Congress. Not all rights emanate from the Constitution. Often they are derived from English common law, or else from laws passed by Congress or the states. Unlike Constitutional rights, rights from these latter two sources can be overridden by other laws (or indeed the Constitution, as interpreted by judges).
