The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.
The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).
The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”
The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.
Ah yes formal business attire, the universal dress code for those who accomplish nothing while looking very important. Very appropriate
Ya know gym shorts and a t-shirt besides being infinitely more practical and comfortable would lead to confusion with actual hard working Americans who don’t have the luxury of getting paid to do nothing.
Maybe we should switch to some type of sci-fi uniform.
I might watch C-SPAN if they were all dressed like the Martians in Mars Attacks.
I always thought sci-fi uniforms were really cool, could you imagine congress in like, mass effect alliance uniforms? that would be cool as fuck.
of course, that might also be because I find business attire to be boring as fuck. So maybe most things look cool in comparison.
That’s gold, Jerry
