So let's try this semantic. Who has ever made it mandatory that you stand? AKA, who has ever taken away your right to sit?
The United States Code.
Edit: Nevermind, it does say should. Mandatory has only been via an organization's rules of which I was a part, which I still had a choice in being a member. So there has never been a mandatory situation.
