Trump just banned himself from building the wall.

I think he could still start to build it, if the NSC and DHS deem it to be necessary for national security.

Restrictions like that never stopped Obama.

That wall is gone with the wind, it will never happen.

Trump just banned himself from building the wall.

OK, that article says the following:

" The omnibus spending bill bans Trump from using any of the new border wall designs his administration has commissioned, instead only allowing for previously-used fencing barriers to be constructed."

Two questions.

1. If he can only use "previously-used fencing barriers" does it specifically state barriers on the US / Mexican border? Because I can think of some pretty spiffy "fencing barriers" that the fed-gov has built in the past, just not in that specific location.

2. If he can only use "previously-used fencing barriers" does it specifically state the number of layers of "fencing barriers" that can be used? Because two (and in some locations three) of these with a "no go zone" in the middle would do a pretty good job...

Or he could just declare it an issue of National Security if there is some event related to the border and move in the Corps' of Engineers.

Chucky could be invited to stand in front of one of the bulldozers to protest it.
