Anyway, he claimed on this thread in front of God and everybody that Congress had "no power" under Article I to bar US trade with Cuba.

Finally you get it right. What'd it take you? 7 posts of BS before you actually read it and got it right?

The term regulate cannot by any stretch of the imagination be taken to mean prohibit. Prohibition is not regulation.

The act of prohibiting trade would in fact repudiate regulation as then there would be nothing at all to regulate.

What are your thoughts on taking over Cuba? Forget trade and other nothings, just attack them and take the country from Castro. Tell me.

You are still a moron. "Regulate" does include "prohibit." Both the word and the concept of embargoes are older than the United States of America. That was included in congressional power.

Have you never picked up a history book? You have a year of reading ahead of you before you will be marginally competent. You should start now.
