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.

    This is going to help avert a Government shutdown and put millions of people out of work!

      I absolutely hate to defend the Senate on anything, but there’s really nothing they can do about the shutdown at this point. They’re ready to fund the government. The House isn’t playing ball.
