Manchin moves to reverse Senate dress code changes
Just the News ^ | 9/21/23 | Ben Whedon

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has floated a proposal to reverse changes to the Senate dress code that permit members of the upper chamber to dress as they please.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed this week that senators, but not their staffers or reporters, would no longer be subject to dress requirements. The move appeared to accommodate Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who prefers to dress in athletic shorts and a hoodie.

Couldn’t they have said one respected and recovering member of our body has been granted an exception to the dress rules?

Instead of pretending Schumer wanted to dress like Pee Wee Herman and Feinstein wanted to shimmy in a sequin dress like Taylor Swift?

David Letterman joke was Romney introduced a bill granting that all the people in the United States named “Mitt” would pay no taxes.

I’ve always heard that when a person interviews for a job they should reflect the nature of the employment with the choice of clothing.

So perhaps all elected male senators should dress as pimps and all elected female senator’s as whores.

True that.

One suspects that Mister Manchin's objective is to pretend to be a "centrist", run for POTUS as an indie, and syphon votes from Trump-disaffected GOPers.

It worked for the weasel Perot.

NO!!!!!!

That is EXACTLY what needs to happen - some of the guys need to show up barefoot and in Speedos and the women need to show up in crop tops and yoga pants with electric lights in their hair.

Show the democrats the jokes that they are and the mockery they are making of our country.

honorable and honest men dont need laws. laws are for those who dont have an active conscience, Dishonorable persons, and those of low character. Do whats right, not popular. God is watching. What you sow on earth you will reap in heaven .

The dress code should be white robes with red sashes and leather sandals. Daggers hidden underneath are optional.

I doubt many of us are impressed with Manchin over this.

I am...someone has to show some class.

Great to see the Senate focused on the most pressing matters of the day, the year, and the century. Keep up the great work!

Imbeciles deserve representation too and Pennsylvania’s senior senator is merely a moron. < / sarcasm >

keep the no speedo rule

I don't know be careful what you wish for... I'd rather have Fetterman and Manchin in speedos than not wearing anything at all. :-)

Call his bluff - change the rule to require either a suit or total nudity.

My good sir have you gone mad? Us CSPAN viewers have suffered enough.

Cynthia Lummis’ (Senator from Wyoming) commentary on this was something else.

I’ve never heard exactly why Federman cannot simply dress right? Why do they placate that spoiled slob?
