This comes a day after Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he is looking to modernize the dress code in the House, which was inspired by a viral CBS News story …about several female reporters who were kicked out of the Speaker’s lobby recently because they were wearing sleeveless dresses and their shoulders weren’t covered. While the supposed policy is not new, it’s been inconsistently enforced and has not been precisely outlined in the rulebooks.

The only existing House rule says that men are required to wear a coat and tie and women are supposed to wear “appropriate attire.”
