MODERATORS
 

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.

If I was Fetterman, it'd now be my personal pet peeve to subvert this dress code whenever I could by showing up in the most ridiculous-but-formally-correct outfits.

Yellow ties, mustard green coat, orange slacks?

That is brilliant.

We could only hope Fetterman would be so based.

I love it, but it just doesn't assault my eyes enough.

The Joker does wear a suit.

"Wanna know how I got these votes?"

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I think the stereotypical clown suit would fit the rules. That'd be perfect.

Dress like Saul Goodman or the Joker

I wonder if Don Cherry's tailor does Big and Tall...

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Most of us Americans probably aren’t familiar with Don Cherry, I wasn’t until I lived with a Canadian and found hockey.

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’d go full Vinny Gambini on em’.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
