The Senate Democrats must have been embarrassed after Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) moved to allow the formal dress code to deteriorate into the “Fetterman Grunge” style of dress in the upper chamber. But more likely, the left wasn’t really embarrassed as they were worried their constituents were upset by the slovenly look Schumer was now allowing in order to accommodate their brain-injured colleague Senator from Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, the Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to restore the formal dress in the upper chamber after the country was upset with them for loosening the unwritten rule.
Senators are now required to dress like grownups and wear business attire on the floor, and Fetterman, who has always dressed like he was a cool kid on the block, will again have to vote in his baggy shorts and hoodie from the senate cloak room where he will be watched carefully so as not to go into anyone’s coat pockets for loose change.
Majority Leader Chuck “Nostrils” Schumer confirmed the rollback from the policy he had initiated which was immediately dubbed the “Fetterman Rule."
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who publicly split with Fetterman over the slob’s lax wardrobe, sponsored the resolution, along with Sen. Mitt Romney (RINO-UT).
“As senators, we should demonstrate a high level of reverence for the institution in which we serve—and our attire is one of the most basic expressions of that respect,” Romney, who is loved by the Democrats said in a statement.
“I’m proud to stand with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to call for a return to a level of dress becoming of the Senate,” the RINO continued.
Earlier Wednesday, before the resolution was passed, Fetterman assured his Democratic colleagues that he would wear a suit while speaking or presiding over the Senate floor.
Last week, Fetterman took advantage of the short-lived loosened dress code and presided over Senate proceedings with his classic baggy shirt and large shorts and was an embarrassment to everyone except Volodymyr Zelensky, who wasn’t there.
He’s also known for donning a hoodie in the Capitol complex area and picking his nose in the Rotunda.
But under the resolution, men on the Senate floor must wear “a coat, tie and slacks or other longer pants.”

Many senators were extremely upset with the lowered standards and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) threatened to wear a bikini.
