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."

Coat and tie means that its a place where no meaningful work gets done.

“Business attire for women.”

And if she’s in show business...as a stripper?

This means everyone can dress like Zelensky when he shows up for more billions to his bank accounts...and theirs.

> Susanna Gibson for Senate. She has a nice birthday suit all ready. <

I think you might be on to something here. If Gibson gets elected, they could make her speeches pay-per-view. This would help reduce the federal deficit.

It is important to dress professionally, even if you are not in a high-level position. I believe that dressing well shows that you are serious about your work and that you respect your colleagues and clients. I also believe that dressing well can boost your confidence and help you to make a good impression.

It is important to dress in a way that makes you look professional and competent, but also approachable and friendly. I want to be taken seriously, but I also want to be someone that people feel comfortable working with.

Dianne Feinstein can wear a diaphanous negligee to the Senate chamber.

If the US House joins in, Maxine Waters can do the same.

There was a novel Nightmare Alley written before this could come true.

If you don’t dress in a serious manner than don’t expect to be taken seriously

I will say the attire of the typical antiquated suit and tie looks pretty stupid nowadays...And the thought of wrapping a piece of cloth around my neck just does not sit right. In my mind, they now appear as uniforms...Costumes.

That’s because you are a slob.

lol...Now that's funny! Are you one of those forced to wear that costume? And what is with that tie thing? Is it the gift package look? A ribbon around your head? A leash? Something to pull you around with?

You don’t even need to be a Senator to be a Senator
