The only possible way would be to have Congress pass a law mandating that the switch-over be made. However - in the US this is highly unlikely to occur since any such mandate would be wildly unpopular and might cause repercussions against those who voted for it (much as is currently about to happen with the ill-conceived CFL light bulb mandate).
It will probably eventually come about anyway since many-many products are manufactured and in common usage, all equipped with metric fasteners and other metric-based specifications. Eventually the educational system will adapt to teaching the metric system alongside the standard English-derived system, and eventually will cease teaching the standard measurement system altogether.
