Hoodie-loving John Fetterman will now HAVE to wear a shirt and tie in the Senate: Joe Manchin's resolution enforcing formal wear is unanimously adopted
Daily Mail ^ | 9/27/23 | Morgan Phillips

The great sartorial scandal over John Fetterman's signature hoodie-and-shorts has now come to a close after the Senate unanimously passed a resolution enacting a formal dress code.

The resolution, brought forth by fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, W. Va., passed without a formal vote by unanimous consent and clarified that the Senate floor would have a formal dress code.

Hours earlier, Fetterman had already announced he would wear a suit and tie while speaking or presiding over the Senate floor. Fetterman, like others, could still wear his trademark garb and vote from the cloak room on the edge of the Senate floor.

'Though we've never had an official dress code, the events over the past week have made us all feel as though formalizing one is the right path forward,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor.

Last week Schumer had eliminated the unofficial dress code, prompting outcry from conservatives and even some liberals.

'For 234 years, every senator who has had the honor of serving in this distinguished body has assumed there was some basic written rules of decorum, conduct and civility, one of which was a dress code,' said Manchin.

But because the dress code didn't really exist, Manchin and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, decided to write one.

Earlier this week Fetterman called on his colleagues to get as fired-up about New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's bribery indictment as they were about his outfits.

'This week, I hope to see my colleagues fully address the alleged systemic corruption of Senator Menendez with the same vigor and velocity they brought to concerns about our dress code,' Fetterman said in a statement Tuesday.

The Republicans, once again, missed a huge opportunity. They should have all shown up in drag.

The resolution specifies only business attire “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants”, so it doesn’t spell out what that means for women, nonbinaries, or other trans variants.

I’m giving credit to Rand Paul. He showed up wearing a robe & slippers to make the point. I think it did.

Its a sad day when you have to tell a full grown man what hr can and cannot wear to conduct business in the highest positions in government. send he a copy of “ My Cousin Vinnie” to see how people who dress like him get righteously chastized by a county judge.

People thought Festerman was part of the janitorial staff and kept asking him to clean up the spilled cocaine piles. Poor guy was more confused than ever.

A suit does not make me respect our politicians....neither does a hoodie. As our country burns down, we’re voting on dress codes, pronouns and taking away guns from innocent people.

Now if only they would pass a resolution to make Fetterman wear a paper bag over his head!

To: Does so
would have been OK with Fetterman’s wearing a coat JACKET, TIE and shorts. ;-)
I find the mental image of Senator Letterman dressed as Richie Rich ludicrous. Thanks for the laugh

In the Dems’ minds, white guys need to adhere and fall in line. If Frankenpeanuts were black, “Equity” would rule the day.
