It IS the people, because it is government-owned, and the government is "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

The White House is owned by the federal government, in other words, the people own it. The land it sits on is part of the national park system.

You are correct; the citizens of the United States owns not only the White House but all government structures.
Nothing in the government is privately owned - if you discount those politicians who "sell themselves" to the lobbyists....

The American taxpayers pay for it.
The White House is owned by the United States government. It's a federal building.

Right now, big business lobbyists and the oil industry do. At least, they own the resident of the White House.

You are right, in principle. The property is owned by the National Park Service and is part of "President's Park."

If you are insanely wealthy, you do. The gates are to keep the other 99.3% of us away.
