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.

    The Senate was nonfunctional because someone wore shorts? I’m no ancap but I don’t think that this fixed a problem, nonetheless the problem with the Senate.

      It seems my exaggerated commentary is a bit above your head. Sorry for attempting to use the internet to spur thought and discussion.
