google, little-box-of-rocks-in-training-wheels, for several hours and show us
the *EXACT* paragraph in the CG regulations where it _expressly_ states ANY
and
ALL documented recreational vessel may be under the command of a non-citizen
at
ANY time and under ANY condition.

please be specific, as your claim is specific.

I already did.

Here's the United States Code, Title 46, Section 12110:

Section 12110. Limitations on operations authorized by certificates
...
(c) A vessel with only a recreational endorsement may not be
operated other than for pleasure.
(d) A documented vessel, other than a vessel with only a
recreational endorsement, may be placed under the command only of a
citizen of the United States.

This is the last published version of the US Code, otherwise known as "The Law"

The law has been updated in the last year or so, with some new sections added,
including:

Section 12131. Command of documented vessels

A documented vessel (other than a vessel with only a recreational
endorsement) may be placed under the command only of a citizen of the United
States.


Section 12151. Penalties
....
(e) Seizure and Forfeiture of Vessels.--

(1) Grounds.--The Government may seize and forfeit a vessel
(including its equipment) if--

(A) the owner of the vessel or the representative or agent of the
owner knowingly falsifies or conceals a material fact, or knowingly makes a
false statement or representation, about the documentation of the vessel or in
applying for documentation of the vessel;

(B) a certificate of documentation is knowingly and fraudulently
used for the vessel;

(C) the vessel is operated after its endorsement has been denied or
revoked under section 12152 of this title;

(D) the vessel is employed in commerce without an appropriate
endorsement;

(E) the vessel has only a recreational endorsement and is operated
other than for pleasure;

(F) the vessel is a documented vessel (except a vessel with only a
recreational endorsement) and is placed under the command of a person not a
citizen of the United States
