U.S. Senate unanimously passes formal dress code after uproar - Lemmy.world

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.
