West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin (D) says he will issue a bipartisan resolution this week to reinstate the dress code for Senators on the Hill.
“Next week, Senator Manchin intends to file a bipartisan resolution to ensure the Senate dress code remains consistent with previous expectations,” a spokesperson for Manchin’s office told Fox News Digital in a statement Friday.
From Fox News:
The dress code was called into question as Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., continued his saga of casual attire, dressed down in basketball shorts, a hoodie, or a collared shirt for business in the upper chamber.
Meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was no exception, as Fetterman sported shorts, a short-sleeved shirt and tennis shoes on Thursday.
Schumer lowered the attire standards to appeal to the freshman Democratic senator, who would otherwise not be allowed to do business on the Senate floor with the previous dress code. Meanwhile, visitors and others entering the Senate chamber must still adhere to its dress code.
Fetterman has bypassed the legislative body’s dress code rules thus far by casting his vote from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, ensuring his vote was recorded before discreetly departing.
