None of the words "govern" "direct" or "control" imply elimination. Elimination in fact of foreign commerce eliminates governance, direction and control.

Nice try, but no cigar. You're still attempting bend word definitions to your will, but it won't do. What the word implies is not up to you. I thought you people shunned implied meanings in the Constitution anyway. That's the same door the gun-grabbers try to go through with their semantical gymnastics over the phrase "well regulated militia". I ought to be surprised at you using the same tactics used by those people, but I'm not.

Congress has the power to regulate foreign commerce. It can choose, through legislation, which countries it does business with and who it does not to do business with, how much, how often and when. That's just a fact. If you don't like it, if this glaring verity stands in the way of your arguments and rationalizations, that's not my problem.
