The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.

The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”

The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

      I prefer the smell of cash, so I keep my name branded jacket pockets full of them.

        I prefer my bribes… er… contributions in gold just in case I need to relocate quickly to a country without an extradition treaty. Who wants to mess around with exchange rates?

        So she got 3½ years and was released in September 2013. Then in February 2014 she received an award from the mayor of Boston as one of 18 “women of color changing our world.” I wonder where she put the award?
