Some traditions should never be updated.
Respect and proper decorum for the institution is a good tradition.

Good thing suits and ties won't be one of those. I expect suits and ties to go the way of the powdered wigs.

It may not be suits and ties, but it damn sure won't be a sloppy pair of shorts and a stained hoodie.

Honestly in this situation, yeah, I agree.

His twitter profile picture is misleading.
Agree the dress code should not be updated. At the very minimum it should reflect semi-formal requirements. Personally, I hate ties. Always have, and I've always thought in 100 years people will look back, like the wigs of the 1700s, and be like... but why did you have a piece of fabric looped around your neck? That being said, sharp dress clothes (pants, shirt, and perhaps jacket) should absolutely be required in Congress.

Does Fetterman even want to be senator?

From that piece:
"So far in his Senate career, Fetterman has missed 33.4 percent of the Senate votes. He is the chamber’s second-most absent member, behind Dianne Feinstein of California, who has missed 46.3 percent of the votes this session. Much of Fetterman’s absence was during his six-week stay at Walter Reed Medical Center in treatment for clinical depression — he missed 85 percent of the votes in February and March. But not all of it was from that time period; Fetterman also missed 13 percent of the votes from July to September.
On July 19, he missed a vote to require the president to consult Congress before withdrawing from NATO. On July 11, he missed a confirmation vote on Xochitl Torres Small to be deputy secretary of Agriculture. And two days later, he missed confirmation votes for Kalpana Kotagal to be a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and David M. Uhlmann to be assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency."
Expel him and send him back home.

Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL] professed to be “concerned” about the decision, which was made to accommodate Senator John Fetterman’s (D-PA) preference for gym shorts and hooded sweatshirts.
“The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend,” insisted Durbin, “but I think we need to have standards when it comes to what we’re wearing on the floor of the Senate, and we’re in the process of discussing that right now as to what those standards will be.”
While the 26-year Senate veteran pulled his punches with Fetterman, he had relatively harsh words for Schumer.
“I can’t understand exactly what he [Schumer] was thinking at that point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until I speak to him but I think the Senate needs to act on this.”
Manchin has floated a proposal to reverse changes to the Senate dress code that permit members of the upper chamber to dress as they please.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed this week that senators, but not their staffers or reporters, would no longer be subject to dress requirements. The move appeared to accommodate Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who prefers to dress in athletic shorts and a hoodie.
The change prompted scoffs from lawmakers, especially Republicans, and Manchin now seeks to revert the dress code to its prior regulations. The proposal reportedly would set the dress code to align with the rules that immediately predated Schumer's changes, The Hill reported.
It remains unclear how many lawmakers have endorsed the proposal, though Democratic and Republican senators such as John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., have both expressed support for revising the dress standards.
