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 the American people wanted better politicians we could vote them in. Most politicians are able to get on a ballot by getting signatures on a petition. If people cared about politics as much as they cared about their entertainment (sports, movies, TV, games, etc) then there would be an entirely different class of politician running for office.
Say you don’t understand the political economy in the United States without saying you don’t understand the political economy in the United States.
I’m always willing to listen someone else’s opinion. What is your diagnosis of current American politics and what’s your prognosis?
I’m not sure we could. Who was on the ballot in the last presidential election? Not anyone whose politics i want to support. I can’t vote people who represent me into power because those people can’t get ballot access. Sanders isn’t even that guy for me but at least he’d be something. He almost broke through twice but each time he was stomped down by the status quo politicians.
