The United States Senate will no longer enforce a dress code for members of the upper house elected by those they serve.
"However, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women," Chad Pergram, the Senior Congressional Correspondent for Fox News tweeted.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-New York, quietly sent the directive to the Senate's Sergeant at Arms, news website Axios reported.
The change allows Sen. John Fetterman, D.-Penn., to continue wearing his trademark "hoodies and gym shorts" while working for Americans.
Fetterman was previously praised for "turning heads" and "redefining fashion in the stuffy Senate" during his recovery following a six-week stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was treated for "clinical depression" and "fitted for hearing aids for hearing loss that had made it harder for him to communicate."
The senator even found a "workaround" to the legislative body's dress code rules.
"He votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ is recorded before ducking back out."

Pathetic.
Can’t hide colostomy bags under a tailored suit.
Just in time for Diane Feinstein to rock her bikini and Chuck Grassley to break out his Speedos.
The democrats can start wearing their Nazi uniforms….
It’s good to be consistent, just like America’s justice system.
Slobs.
As old and crazy as this bunch are, I expect to see a lot of hospital gowns.
We got to be ready for those transgender senators.

Working for Americans? Are members of Fetterman’s staff now writing for Fox News?
Nadler in a dress?
When all else fails, lower your standards.
important stuff!!
I’m not a big coat and tie guy but I believe certain occupations should wear them....the sinate being one.
We play their freaking salaries, and allow them to use The Capitol Building for their job. We should have the right to set the dress code while they are on the job serving us.
It’s invalid, since there is no definition of “woman.”
Defining deviancy down.
They changed the entire dress code for one stroked out lazy sloth?!
This is obviously to accommodate that 8 ft tall brain dead Frankenstein cretin and that trash democrat who wore that cartoon cowboy hat.
