In the latter case, the claim says that if you find some entity that is mortal, it's not possible for that entity to be a man. As a transcendental claim, it expresses a universal and necessary truth; being outside the realm of contingency it entails that no empirical inquiry is required, or possible.
I wonder if the words 'mortal' and 'not possible' all belong in this sentence.
