It was not a bill (House), but a suggestion, which funds the border wall through the Army Engineers. Covfefe.

That is not correct. No new border wall construction can occur under the omnibus, which is now law.

Jordan also blasted the bill's funding for Planned Parenthood and its failure to fund President Trump 's proposed wall along the U.S. southern border. The omnibus provides more than $1 billion for border security and new surveillance technology, but prevents the money from being used for new construction of Trump's wall. "The one thing we don't fund is the one issue we all campaigned on — a border security wall — and that is not in the legislation," he said. "So it can't get any worse than this bill."

The Army Corps of Engineers fall under DoD, and the Dod is prohibited, by law, in this legislation of construction any new border wall. All they can do is repair existing fencing.

It's in the bill. If Trump tried to go around the very law he just signed, it is an impeachable offense (for real).

Exacting on what page does the bill say that?

In the military, one cannot use new money to tear down and rebuild a current structure without authorization. However, according to the Regs in the USAF, an old building may be ‘renovated’ as long as part of the original structure remains. They have been tearing down buildings until only one corner is still framed and totally redesigning the structure using that one corner as the cornerstone of the building.

Not new, simply a renovation. Leave one fence post on each coast and renovate the border wall from sea to shining sea. A military self help project expending training dollars to train soldiers, sailors, and airmen on using heavy equipment and combat construction technology and modern equipment. After construction the fence would be signed over to the border patrol as in a public park project done the same way by the guard and reserve all year long every year.
