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.

    Gotta look profesh while they’re not doing their jobs. It’s like they’re in competition with that disaster of a House to see which chamber can be the most useless.

        It’s cause it is.

        The House is the kiddie table at a family reunion, where there is an overabundance of small, bratty kids. Half of those children want to get food and make sure everyone has enough to eat, but refuses to share their ball, their toys, or their area, and think sitting in pee is an acceptable alternative that other kids should be content with.

        The other side wants to eat all the food, even food they aren’t entitled to, the cake, blame the kids next to them for eating the cake, then take a shit on the plate where the cake was, and tell all the other kids it was the cake the whole time.

        The parents are nearly as shitty, but most of them are in their 80s or higher and are propped up with sticks, bailing wire, and denture cream.
