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."

I was always taught that dressing appropriately was a sign of respect.
These libtards have no respect for anything.
Why can’t Fetterman wear a coat and a clip-on tie? Is he representing another planet?
Another step downward......
Catering to a mentally ill “Senator”.
“Business attire for women,”
so humper bidens call girls can arrive in “business” atire?
Who cares what the wear? Just do your F’ing job.
Two classes of citizen.
Just as was not intended.
Probably because of that giant retard sloth. Dressing nice might hurt his widdle feelings.
Demokrats will wear their regular attire … straight jackets.
So, Lurch can’t be arsed to wear a suit to work, so the Senate ditches the dress code entirely? What a bunch of utter clowns the Democrats are.
Tailor made for uncle fester
Never been a big fan of neckties either. Putting a noose around one’s neck isn’t smart. I decided a long time ago that if I ever did have to wear ties at work, I was going to modify them with breakaway stitching at the back of the neck. I haven’t had to wear a tie at any job since I was 17, though, and I’d have to look up online how to tie one now. I think I own a tie, but damned if I know where it is.
Idiocracy was not just a movie. It was prophecy.
This is the part that speaks volumes:

Fetermen making a difference
I rarely reply to thumb-suckers. However, it’s called class.
A word obviously not in your vocabulary.
“Pathetic” doesn’t begin to describe it. Change the eons-old dress code for one flaming retard?
I’d love to see a bunch of Trump Won t-shirts. But that would take Republicans with cajones.
He could at least wear one of those shirts that look like a tuxedo
Yes. Degrading cultural norms to accommodate Democrats.
No norms now the new norm.
