[RPG] rule that creatures without Con scores can not have the Regeneration special ability

ability-scoresdnd-3.5eregenerationundead

I've heard that there's a rule that creatures without Con scores (e.g. undead) cannot have the regeneration special ability. I can see why that would be the case (immunity to nonlethal damage makes Regeneration pretty powerful), but I'd like to see a rules citation for it if it exists.

It is right there in Regeneration ability description:

[...] A creature must have a Constitution score to have the regeneration ability.
