I say 'Amen' to this - as a country, we have become far too sloppy (IMHO). Why is it asking too much for people to respect the office and home of the President of our country, elected by a majority of their fellow citizens, by wearing reasonable, modest clothing. Chinos, polos, and loafers for the guys and skirts or dresses for the gals doesn't seem difficult or expensive; it nothing else, it will provide a reminder of the serious business and history that has taken place there.

And for all the slippery slope folks, libertarians, etc. - please - we are on a slippery slope right now to nihilism; the simple dress code is a step back to common sense, common courtesy, and common decency. Is it too much to ask citizens to be serious once in a while?

I totally agree. The WH is not an amusement park. It doesn’t take much effort, time or money to wear something reasonable. And the women don’t necessarily have to wear skirts or dresses when lightweight pants will do. I don’t even wear shorts when I;m in the desert in your great state. I wear lightweight pants and am just as cool and more comfortable than if I were in heavyweight jeans or shorts. When I was in your state last week, I work a pair of stretch pants and a stretch tee (a little dressier material) and also wore lightweight khakis and a short-sleeved collared shirt. How difficult is that?
