Sorry PJ, did not read all that. Did you ask it how many times the POTUS or Congress interpreted the word “regulate” to mean “tax”?

If government bodies have used “regulate” to include tax, than the exclusion of the words tax, duties, etc in the Act is irrelevant. Custom and practice says regulate can include taxation.
