Please point out the word "only" in Section 5 to me. I must be blind: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

"The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

It's right there The Congress shall have the power to enforce

shall does not mean only. it means that they do have the power, but not that they and they alone have the power

Please provide references demonstrating that the founding fathers defined "shall" to include an implicit inclusion of "only", "exclusively", or any similar verbiage.

I'll wait.
