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.
