Is this possible?

"A Canadian novelist is auctioning off what he calls the deed to the White House on eBay where the highest bid reached $15,000 Wednesday.

David Jenneson said he found out there was no deed to the White House -- it may have never existed -- while researching for his latest book, Night of the Realtors.

Jennesen says he filed a legal quitclaim to the deed in Canada and now has the only deed to the White House in existence.

He claimed the White House has not been able to find a copy of the deed to the property. He says that means the highest bidder for Jenneson's document will be the legal owner according to Washington law.

The White House hasn't responded to the auction.

He said the winner will also get a signed copy of his book.

No word on whether he's researching any other U.S. government property."

If you had the deed in your hand and tried to set foot on the property, you'd still be shot.

Filed a Deed in Canada for property in the US? What makes anyoen think that'd be legal anyway... And it's the government. They can just use the emminant domain to take it back.

The deed was likely destroyed in 1812 when a certain Canadian militia group sacked Washington. And according to international law, countries cannot rightfully parcel out land within each other's sovereign territory.

Well since 5 million Canadians own some 15-18 million firearms we might shove the slingshot up your arse and send you back. Even if our military couldn't ;)

OK, I'll bring a BB gun too.

For those that get too easily offended, I am being facetious. Canada's military has some great SSG.

Considering Canada burned down half the White House at one point, I'd say if they want to claim it, let them. You could say they earned it.
