Senate will no longer enforce a dress code for senators
Fox News ^ | September 17, 2023 | Pilar Arias , Chad Pergram

Posted on 09/17/2023 11:55:03 AM PDT by lowbridge

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."

Just in time for Diane Feinstein to rock her bikini and Chuck Grassley to break out his Speedos.

It’s good to be consistent, just like America’s justice system.

Working for Americans? Are members of Fetterman’s staff now writing for Fox News?

All for Fetterman.

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.”

This is obviously to accommodate that 8 ft tall brain dead Frankenstein cretin and that trash democrat who wore that cartoon cowboy hat.
