Adopt the International System of Units as the national standard for measurement.

Created by T.T. on November 03, 2013

The purpose of this petition is to propose the full and unaltered adoption of the International System of Units upon the United States of America.

The United States of America is currently one of the few remaining nations to use the confusing and old-fashioned Customary Units system. This system is difficult to remember and requires specific studying in order to use. The International System of Units is much more logical in the simple way it handles units by powers of 10.
