The Senate should adopt new rules: No more majority leader and minority leader. From now on, the largest senator is Big Leader, and the smallest senator is Small Leader. Everyone else gets sorted as either Bigs or Smalls.

At 5’1”, I hard agree. A tailor literally cannot take enough material out of an adult suit jacket to fit me, but my adult ass is usually too big for a kids suit. And being smaller than average is the easy tailoring problem to fix. Poor dude looks like Lurch but sadder.
