It is literally in the constitution.
>To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
- akira2501 3y ago"Congress shall have the power" was omitted, there. Congress is a representative body. Of course, representatives should have the power to recognize a national standard, the administration isn't entitled to just choose a standard and enforce it against the wishes of the people as represented by congress. That was actually the point I was trying to get at. Thank you.
