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.
When I was in middle school (private school), the headmaster somehow manipulated the 8th grade class into voting for a dress code. I was just commenting on that to my therapist two weeks ago. Can’t even remember how it came up, but talk about voting against your own interests.
WFH should have taught us that this shit doesn’t matter in most scenarios. Oh well. At least they’ll look nice while they accomplish fucking nothing.
Who counted the votes?
