Counter proposal, every member must wear formal dresses. You can have your formal attire, but you're not going to like it.
As long as they all have to wear fancy hats like at the Kentucky Derby too. Even though I think there's nearly nothing redeeming about Lindsey Graham I imagine he'd have the fanciest hat of them all.
