Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi entered the House floor of the Capitol building on Wednesday wearing a knee-length high neck black dress, accented with gold touches: gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold Mace of the Republic pin. The mace symbolizes the authority of the House of Representatives, and there’s a deliberateness in its appearance: She wore it during an October press conference about President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, as well as during President Trump’s State of the Union address earlier this year.
