Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to relax the upper chamber’s dress code has run into much dissent, with lawmakers saying the floor is no place for hoodies and shorts.
floor is where we conduct the business of the American people,” the letter said. “It is where we debate the policies which impact every American family and, when necessary, it is where we must make the gravest decision imaginable — whether to send our fellow Americans into battle to defend the freedoms we all hold dear. The world watches us on that floor and we must protect the sanctity of that place at all costs.
The change in the dress code brought a lot of attention to Sen. John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Democrat, who dons hoodies and gym shorts while walking through the Capitol. On the floor, he voted while peeking out of the cloakroom so he wouldn’t violate the dress code.
