After the hue-and-cry over the dress code in the Speaker’s Lobby and the Congressional floor, which suddenly became terrible and sexist overnight, Speaker Paul Ryan announced that the dress code was due to be “modernized.”
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Ryan defended the sergeant-at-arms’s interpretation of the dress code but said it could be relaxed a bit.
“The sergeant-at-arms was simply enforcing the same interpretation of the rules as under my predecessors. It’s nothing new and certainly not something that I devised. At the same time, that doesn’t mean that enforcement couldn’t stand to be a bit modernized,” Ryan said.
“Decorum is important, especially for this institution, and a dress code in the chamber and the lobby makes sense,” the Speaker added. “We also don’t need to bar otherwise accepted contemporary business attire, so look for a change on that soon.”
Enter Nancy Pelosi, looking to make some political hay on the moment.
Glad to see @SpeakerRyan is updating the dress code for the House Floor. These unwritten rules are in desperate need of updates.
