Congress Debates National 'Pants Optional' Day For 6 Hours, Forgets To Vote On Important Budget
The budget expired. Pants were still optional. No one knows what happened.
Congress spent 6 hours debating whether to declare a national 'Pants Optional Day.' The budget expired during the debate. 'This is a serious issue,' said one representative, wearing pajama pants. 'Freedom of legwear is a fundamental right.' The budget was not discussed. The budget did not pass. Pants remain mandatory for now. The next session will revisit the budget — and also pants. 'Priorities,' one senator said.
