"Regulate- to make regular.
Has no connotations of PROHIBITING commerce."

So "to regulate" commerce with foreign Nations, therefore, did not allow the federal government to prohibit trade with them? You're saying Jefferson and Madison (who wrote the damn thing) didn't know what they were doing?

Maybe your definition is wrong, huh?

Foreign Nations would be via Treaty power given to the Fed Gov. Interstate commerce is a seperate power.

Nice try at an obfuscation though.
