6:40 AM EDT September 28, 2023informal guidance issued by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
The bipartisan resolution by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, comes after backlash to Schumer’s announcement that staff for the chamber’s Sergeant-at-Arms would no longer enforce a dress code on the Senate floor. The guidance came as Pennsylvania has been unapologetically wearing shorts and sweatshirts around the Senate, voting from doorways so he didn’t walk on the chamber floor and get in trouble for his casual dress.
Schumer also thanked Fetterman for ”working with me to come to an agreement that we all find acceptable.”
