No, even the US uses the metric system (although we retain traditional units for many purposes). Even the traditional units used in the US use the metric system as their calibration standards (eliminating the older independant traditional standards). I have an 1877 Arithmetic schoolbook which has a section on using the metric system that was used in US grade schools at that time. (this copy was used by my grandmother and her sister when they were in grade school)
No. Congress can decide whether or not the metric system is adopted by the US, but the metric system exists and is used by developed countries whatever Congress choses to do.
