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.

    Seems blatantly discriminatory on the basis of gender

      Discrimination is the point of every dress code. They can’t have commoners walking freely through the House of Lords, or whatever these fuckheads want to call themselves this incarnation.

      They should be hung from the roof upside down and naked. Instead we get to watch them bicker like children over the scraps of the government they’ve yet to destroy.
