The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.

The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”

The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

    Really doing important work there in the Senate. Putting on a good show of how connected and in touch they are with the people.

      Really don’t indeed. I assume you couldn’t force your fingers to spell as ludicrous a lie as the originally intended sarcasm.

          Aha. So it’s SwiftKey that is incapable of saying, even sarcastically, that the Senate is doing important work.

          It also seems like some people were unable to interpret my previous comment? Idk why else I’d have a bunch of downvotes for pointing out a particularly amusing typo…
