There's your bass-ackwards Hamiltonian reasoning again.
"Where in the Constitution does it explicitly say I can't screw you?"
"No, no, no -- I'm screwing you with a Coke bottle, not with a regular corkscrew -- so I'm perfectly legit!"
"Where in the Constitution does it explicitly say I can't be President-for-Life?! The situation certainly calls for it -- and I detect the penumbra of an Implied Power! Yes, yes! It's all implied!!"
Lincoln's blockade was a preference. He ordered the Navy to divert ships and cargoes from the ports of one State to those of another, just like it says in the article.

Nonsense. It was a valid action taken to combat the rebellion under the authority granted him by the Militia Act.
