They understood that to have a healthy economy you could not have every state have different rules of commerce.

Even using your arcane definition of regulate it does not change the meaning of the clause.

Using your definition of regulate - keep regular, highly functioning - how would I regulate my classroom?

If i wish my classroom to function regularly and be highly functioning I implement procedures to make that happen - homework is due at this time, here is how you request a pass from class...

Do you know another name for procedures? Rules. When Congress is tasked with creating procedures do you know what they call them? Laws.

So when the commerce clause says Congress has the power to do this; “regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.”

That clause is giving congress the power to pass laws outlining how interstate and foreign trade will happen.

This is really simple. In your attempt to Pickle it up you have completely lost track of what it actually says.
