Default ELECTRIC SWITCH SIZE QUESTION???????

If a switch is rated at 125VAC and 5A, could the switch be used in an applicationfor6Aat 1.5VDC? I know that P=Volts X Amps so it would seem the switch is capable of 600watts. So the 1.5V times even the 6A max is9 watts. Help me, it has been 40 years since I sat throuhg my EE class in school.
