Thread Name: BS:Jewish Prime Minister? (Michael Howard)
Subject: RE: BS: JEWISH PRIME MINISTER? (Michael Howard)

Disraeli was 1804 was born on Friday, December 21, 1804, to Isaac and Maria D'Israeli, and baptized into the Church of England, July 31 1817.

I don't think there'd have been any constitutional bar to his being Prime Minister if he'd been a practicing Jew. (There would have been if he'd been a Catholic.) Mind, there might have been other obstacles in the way.
