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.

    The Senate isn’t the chamber holding up a budget bill…

      It isn’t, but they should be entirely focused on talking to their colleagues and making damn sure that the government gets funded before time runs out. It’s extremely important we don’t let this one slide.
