*laughs* That's like every jounin that's worth a damn. Sigh, too many inconsistencies in this series lately.
No he said it was called a Kekkei Genkai and no every Jounin cannot do this.
What most Jounin can do is use 2 elements separately, what few can probably do is use the strength of different elements in succession like Kakuzu but using separate elements to create a new one requires a Bloodline or possibly the Yonbi.

Tsunade and Nidaime not being able to use Mokuton isn't illogical, the idea that Kekkai Genkai must be shared among all your families comes from the most used translation "bloodline" which technically isn't really correct since it implies strongly the principle of repetition through lineage.
A power obtained though one's particular genetic is a Kekkai Genkai regardless of its reproduction in the family.

edit : Mr. Johnny 5 it was chapter 353
Sandaime did that in anime filler but anyway he didn't mix these elements to create a new one, he merely used both of them.
