Slob John Fetterman who speaks as well as Joe Biden will have to wear suits after all and not dress like a slob in the Senate. Dude is a slob and a pig, but at least he could dress halfway decently.
Suck it Schumer… that was about as funny of an idea as an Amy Schumer joke, not funny at all.
The Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to bring back to the formal dress code in the upper chamber after the requirements were controversially dropped for senators only, not for staff members.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had quietly ordered the Senate dress code no longer to be enforced, which was then nicknamed the “Fetterman Rule.”
“Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit,” Schumer said in a statement to Axios at the time.
This meant Senator John Fetterman would no longer be forced to vote from the doorway of the Senate cloakroom whenever he appeared in his usual sweat pants, shorts, or hooded sweatshirt combos.
However, nearly every Republican senator signed a letter in opposition to the change, the New York Post reported, with Maine’s Susan Collins joking she might show up to work in a bikini.
The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, even voiced his disagreement, along with Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), who eventually sponsored the dress code’s return with Mitt Romney.
