The Senate will no longer enforce its historic dress code to accommodate Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) who prefers to wear gym shorts and hoodies on the job.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) directed the Senateâs Sergeant at Arms to end the chamberâs dress code, the rule will go into effect this week.
âSenators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit,â said Schumer to Axios Sunday.
Interestingly, the change is only for senators and not staff members.
 âSenators can now [wear] whatever they want,â said Fox News journalist Chad Pergram. âHowever, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code.â
âCoats/ties for men. Business attire for women.â
Already, many are coming out to slam whatâs now being called âThe Fetterman Rule.â
âThe end of Western Civilization,â said Roger Stone on X.
So let me get this straight. The entire senate is jettisoning its storied history and debasing itself before the world to accommodate the slovenliness of one man, John Fetterman? Will a single Senator object to this humiliation? https://t.co/d8FNJyKuoq

Completely insane. Heâs a spoiled child, demanding chicken nuggies for all meals and throwing a tantrum if he sees a pair of pants. What an absolute embarrassment. https://t.co/6xRy9UWzee

The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful.
Dress code is one of societyâs standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions.
Stop lowering the bar!
