"Senators Reinstate Formal Dress Code Amid Controversy"

TL;DR Summary
The Senate has voted unanimously to reinstate a formal dress code, reversing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to relax it earlier this month. The resolution stipulates that "business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate" for men, but does not specify what women should wear. The move comes after controversy arose over Democratic Senator John Fetterman's casual attire. Senators Mitt Romney and Joe Manchin brought the resolution, emphasizing the need to demonstrate respect for the institution. The dress code change had been criticized by some senators, who viewed it as a "race to the bottom."
