It's funny that when we founded this country we were going against having a "king". Washington was very concerned on what he wore and what he was called because we were trying to be different. Somehow, over time, we have now turned the office into the throne room again. Something tells me that W. wouldn't mind it if someone approached him in jeans. (not that it matters either way.)
I once read that a British ambassador came to visit Jefferson in his office and was horrified to find him undressed for the meeting (that is, in his underwear). Jefferson didn't see what the big deal was.
