Senate Reinstates Formal Dress Code Amid Controversy

The Senate has established a formal dress code requiring business attire on the chamber floor, just days after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer relaxed the unofficial requirement. The resolution, introduced by Democratic Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Senator Mitt Romney, mandates a coat, tie, and slacks or long pants for men, without specific requirements for women. The decision comes after backlash towards Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who often wears casual attire to work.
