Keep the dress code. It helps bring credibility to the institution of government. It's not about manners. It's about sending a message of stability and inspiring respect among the masses.

I think our senators should continue to follow a formal dress code when on the senate floor. Leave the gym clothes in your office and at home. Take some pride in dressing appropriately to represent your constituents. I fear that a relaxed dress code will further damage the eroded decorum we have seen between senators who have forgotten how to have a civil debate with each other. The senate is a select group of 100 lawmakers. They need to start working on representing their constituents and spending less time trying to dress like they are going to play a pick-up basketball game.

I understand both sides of the issue. On one hand, Senator John Fetterman was always a person who dressed casually, even when he was the mayor of a Pennsylvania town, and no one really minded that. On the other hand, I understand what Whoopi is saying as well. There are some people who don't care how you dress as long as you do your job. I used to work the front desk at my college, and the Resident Director said that while many of us would wear shorts, sweatpants, and pajamas to the front desk, he would want us to dress somewhat professionally. I did that for a while until many of us realized that no one really cared that much. Most of us dressed in shorts, pajamas, etc, and our upper body would be in regular shirts or a neat looking t-shirt, and there were working the overnight shift, so it didn't really matter. I also knew a guy who didn't really like dressing in a suit and tie, so he got a job where he didn't have to wear one.

I am going to have to side with Alyssa and Sunny on this decorum situation. I feel like it has been historically traditional of the congressional body to dress up and to show themselves in a professional matter..wearing jeans and shorts and things that are so much more lax is not a positive reflection of one of the most powerful bodies within our democratic government. I feel like there are more important issues that we have to deal with right now.. I.e Debt ceiling issues, inflation rates, property taxes, abortion rights and etc. To be dealing with whether a senator can dress more lax than usual is quite trivial. I feel like the traditional policy should stay in effect. What if U.S Supreme Court Justices didn’t wear robes but took traditional pictures and sat on the bench wearing shorts and T-shirts.. how would we look at that? How would this affect the traditional morality that was set in place? some to think on folks.

More about Sunny being able to agree with her.

Still trying to create your imagined feud between Sunny and Alyssa. You can now get psychiatrist help on line.

[@nojolie]

Yeah it was very rude, as usual Alyssa just took it in stride.

[@BEAUTiFULSHAWTiE5]

Two things can be true. I prefer the dress code but also don't care what you wear if you're not doing your job.

[@mrbear1302]

He is being paid $178,000 a year to do this job. There is no reason he can't go out and get himself a pair of dress khaki shorts, a pollo or button down shirt and nice shoes! He looks like a slob! He can still dress well and be comfortable. If he travels to other countries for state dinners does he dress like that?

[@elecbass100]

OK, not showing respect does not equal disrespect. This is where the disagreement seems to be. People take offense when some offense wasn’t intended at all. Sometimes it’s not about someone else, not every action is about someone else, it’s about the individual’s own comfort. And if they are effective being comfortable, it doesn’t matter what they are wearing.

[@fredbergstrom4866]

Shorts and hoodies isn't even considered business casual for most companies casual day

[@trevortenentes1319]

I agree with Sunny and Alyssa and I NEVER agree with Sunny about anything bc I just don’t like her but she’s right about the dress codes. We don’t want to see the people representing us looking like they don’t care what they look like. It sends a message.

Why was it a bad take? Sticking to a tradition just because it’s existed that way is a bad take, it’s lazy thinking. Times change, standards change, accept it

I really agree that the dress code should be kept. Federman dresses like he's at home during the weekend and I remember that during the 1970s boys who wore shorts to school were sent home to put pants on or had to stay home for the day.

So they changed the whole dress code because 1 person couldn’t fall in line?

[@shashavengesayi6055]

As long as you successfully complete your job tasks and duties, then the dress code shouldn’t really matter. Unless your job requires protective gear like a construction worker or medical doctor.

[@SarahG419]

I care more about legislation that is for the people. There are a lot of people in politics following the dress code that do nothing for this country.

[@KM-mf1se]

John Fetterman is my senator and a big appeal to him is his casualness in his appearance and even how he speaks. It's what made him win over the TV quack 'crudite' guy because we in Pennsylvania are not attuned with the people in their fancy suits and ties and crap. You go to the middle of Pennsylvania and you see people in WORKING clothes. I'm glad they're starting to understand that the country isn't just suit and tie, silver spoon fed people, but the WORKING class.

[@georgiagem7689]

What a great statement on who John Fetterman is. John Fetterman for President! I'm from Georgia by the way, not Pennsylvania, and I see the goodness in him.

[@Badbadbambi]

Middle of Pennsylvania? What a weird thing to hone in on. So forget the rest of Pennsylvania, the middle you see people going to work dressed “like a slob”? Really that’s your defense? People in Pennsylvania… the middle of Pennsylvania break dress code at their place of employment? Yeah press x to doubt that one. Maybe if that’s the case, John should leave the senate and go back to working amongst the middle class workers of middle Pennsylvania where he can blend in with the local slobs. Get real.

John fetterman needs to go, he gets out of work for 6 months, hasn’t introduced any new legislation, and then gets a dress code changed. I’m liberal and I don’t agree with this new motion. You should look the part and and have respect. What’s he even being paid for. If the current government is our best and brightest I’m horrified

[@darlenemartinez9353]

I'm with Whoopi

[@DavidKerley]

I was taught a very long time ago that the way you dress - how you present yourself visually - is first and foremost a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Followed by respect, both for self and for others. So, since my mama taught this to me, I gonna hafta stick with it.

[@kellharris2491]

I heard he was struggling with depression after his stroke. Maybe that's honestly how he feels about himself. He might need some help. When I was depressed I too dressed like a bum. They should have taken him aside and encouraged him to get some help.

I totally agree with Alyssa and Sunny about the dress code , one the highest office in America need to be representable ,need to have decorum .

[@bridiemcloughlin8326]

As a Kiwi, in New Zealand it is acceptable to wear bare feet in the street; but this is ridiculous! There are places that one should dress for the situation. This is one of them. Alyssa is absolutely right!

[@cjcman87]

My family is from braddock and every time I visited them I see would see him everywhere. We like him and still do. He dressed like this and was elected mayor, he dressed like this and was elected ltgov and, in a red wave year, flipped a senate seat to democrats. I'll take a slop with good policy over a criminal narcissist in Armani anyday.

[@GymLeaderEddie-v7]

[@kayecastleman6353]

Sunny did not say that. She said, "I don't know what's happening TO ME, because Alyssa is making more and more sense TO ME every day." Sunny was not dissing Alyssa, she was validating her (not that Alyssa needs any validation). Sunny's comment was about herself, referring to her own changing reaction to Alyssa's opinions. It was a compliment to Alyssa, and you can see she took it that way.

If he is a duly elected official, and his constituents are okay with how he dresses… then he should be allowed to dress that way. However, if they are allowed to dress down, then visitors and staff should be able to do the same.

[@toddportice4997]

But if you're a traditionalist, then it would be taking us back to a time when women wore dresses and skirts with nylons, etc. Times have changed. The way you dress does not mean you are less of a person or less capable. Many times, it shows they are more qualified and also more productive. Not for all but many.
